It's Always Monday On The Moon
-Dgar

The adventure of a lifetime.
On the next million steps for mankind.
Years of planning and training and prepping and now I’m here and I have left you alone.
It’s time to come home.

Two week long, days and nights.  
Time drags on underneath the lights.
Working all the time mining crater ice,
And keeping the vacuum on the outside. 
I’m living at my job.  Even free time isn’t free.
Every day’s a workday, and Friday’s but a dream.
But soon I’m coming home to you.

It’s always Monday on the Moon
It’s always Monday on the Moon
It’s never Friday afternoon
It’s always Monday on the Moon

Recirculated air.
Watching home just hanging there.
Months of constantly cleaning the luna dust from the regilith filters in my tin can. 
It’s all that I am. 

Two week long, days and nights.  
Time drags on underneath the lights 
Working all the time mining crater ice,
And keeping the vacuum, on the outside. 
Filling out reports, maintaining machines. 
Every day’s a workday and I’m living in a dream. 
But soon I’m coming home to you.  

It’s always Monday on the Moon
It’s always Monday on the Moon
It’s never Friday afternoon
It’s always Monday on the Moon

It’s always Monday on the Moon
It’s always Monday on the Moon
Soon I’m coming home to you
It’s always Monday on the Moon

This is my first track that isn't vocal work! If you want to listen first, please do not read any further. If you want to read about the thought process while listening, then continue!

At first it didn't really have a direction but as I started trying different chords and melodies I came up with the concept of uncertainty. The fourth chord in the piano loop doesn't resolve on purpose. When I added the basses, it added a little warmth and a sort of dissonance conceptually with the piano in it's hopeful tone. The lead, the colder woodwinds, were written with a more melancholic tone.

During the second half the basses and lead switch and the bass takes on the warm but melancholic sound while the violins take on a colder but persistent sound. The snare that is introduced represents the concept of forever marching forward despite the warm, the cold, the hope, the sorrow, and the uncertainty.

Finally at the end we see the tempo slow, and with the final chords of the last measure, we finally hear a resolution towards the melancholic resolution. 

Fire does indeed melt frost, but the water that remains takes a toll on the fire.

Some Melodic Electro or IDM or something. I was experimenting with writing in loops of 3 and factors of 3 rather than 2 & 4.
