Preview of my (unfinished) new single, "When Chains Fall"

When Chains Fall (preview)

That moment when imagining
Trades places with reality
And your eyes
Start drumming up a memory
That never could have happened
In real life

Ah, but maybe soon;
That’s what forever’s for
And why she waits
At time’s door

You wouldn’t waste a moment like this
Take in the sights and drink in that sound
‘Cause who you are meets all you have been
When chains fall down
Oh, every then becomes the now
When chains fall
When chains fall down

Daylight is possibility
Chock full of opportunity
And your mind
Trades punches with the tragedy
That never would have drawn
Outside the lines

Ah, but maybe soon;
That’s what forever’s for
And why she waits
At time’s door

You wouldn’t waste a moment like this
Take in the sights and drink in that sound
‘Cause who you are meets all you have been
When chains fall down
Oh, every then becomes the now
When chains fall
When chains fall down

Oh the road never seemed so wide
Oh the road never seemed so wide
Oh the world never seemed so wide

You wouldn’t waste a moment like this
Take in the sights and drink in that sound
‘Cause who you are meets all you have been
When chains fall down
Oh, every then becomes the now
When chains fall
When chains fall down

This is a challenge piece made using only:

- Instruments from Audio Imperia's Nucleus
- Arturia's MicroLab controller
- Stock Logic Pro plugins

This piece could have been made in any DAW. So excluding Logic Pro and the apple computer required to run it, you can find this controller+sample library combo on sale for a combined $369 USD. That makes this combo the lowest barrier-to-entry for new composers wanting to make quality orchestral music.

I recommend them! I enjoyed working with these tools so much, I'll probably do this again.
