The first original song that I've actually completed since my first album released almost 4 years ago.

The fact that I've had so much time throughout my college experience to create and release music, but not having done so at all really scared me. I've had another album in the works since I released my last one, but I have a huge problem with procrastination and never completing any songs I start. I have THOUSANDS of recorded song ideas, as well as hundreds of actual project files, but I can assure that it will be done this year. Since this is my senior year, this semester may be the last chance I have the time to freely make music, so I set myself a goal to focus as much on my music as possible for the next few months.

I'm putting together a video series to document my journey making as much music as I can during my last winter break. The first episode will most likely be uploaded tomorrow if I get a chance to edit it.

This song was created in one hour, along with one another song, for my final English assignment of the year in which I was instructed to create a short documentary. I decided to make mine about attempting to create an entire album in 2 hours, which, needless to say, did not go well.

In my opinion, though very sloppy, I think this song sounds very nice. Therefore, I will most likely come back to this song in the future and remaster it into a better, fuller song.

Overcome with technical difficulties, motor difficulties, and things just plain not going correctly, I present to you my single made in 2 hours:

120 Minutes

Enlightened

A highly emotion story about the struggles a famous YouTuber faces when trying spread his wisdom to others and connecting with the outside world. After failing at sustaining his career making entertaining content for the video streaming platform, YouTube, the main protagonist, Mark Fischbach, attempts to break out of his bubble of fame and find a relationship he hopes will help bring him back to the middle class society he has left behind, but he's constantly reminded of being overtaken by his own friend and peer, Tyler Scheid. His past name, Markiplier, continues to haunt him as he is never able to live down his online identity

Will he be able to maintain a stable relationship after returning from his years of popularity?

Written by Tyler Scheid and Ethan Nestor
Performed by Mark Fischbach
Composed by Connor Bankos

This was one of the hardest projects I've ever decided to do. It took me months to perfect the timing as best as I can while actually making it sound good. I did NOT edit Mark's vocals in any way whatsoever. Overall, I am so proud of this project, so I would really appreciate it if you checked out my channel and followed my SoundCloud if you want to hear more of my stuff!

And here's the original video by Mark:
