Cool start, sucks you in. Some nice dissonances as well. Great work with drums. Nice arrangement. A bit on the short side... Wouldn't mind adding a minute or so if you can keep it interesting.

Good job: like the nice perc and lead sound, especiale the snare. Good luck in the challenge:)

Frozen Heart (Asper)

Kind of fascinated by this free library (VCSO2). Like...does this sound good? I kinda like it a lot for some reason. Super light on the CPU, going with Sforzando.
Most inspiring and brilliant is that they are bone-dry, making pitch-bending almost acceptable, I find! ☺

Really

Made entirely with Versilian's free VCSL library using Sforzando(VST) in MuLab(DAW) on a $100 beelink miniPC. Not even a hick-up. Sometimes this world holds beautiful surprises!

Alright, I'm being a traitor to my beloved MuLab and gave Cubase a first go for a small exploration of: Spitfire Audio's LABS- Glass Piano and a bunch of other LABS. It's LABS Only, actually. Good fun! ☺

Lyrics:

Haters always on my back, can't seem to shake them off
Talking all that smack, acting like they're so tough
But they don't know me, don't know where I've been
They don't know the struggle, they don't know the win

I rise above the hate, don't let it get me down
I use it as my fuel, I wear it like my crown
I'm focused on my mission, I'm chasing all my dreams
They can talk all they want, but I know what it means

I know I'm not perfect, but I'm doin' my best
I won't let their hate put my mind to the test
I'll keep on moving forward, with my head held high
I'll leave them in the dust, as I reach for the sky

Haters...
Haters can't stop me, I'll run this town

Haters gonna hate, that's just a fact
I'll keep grinding, I won't ever slack
They talk behind my back, but never to my face
I know they're just jealous, they can't keep up the pace

I still have hope, even when it's hard to see
I still have faith, that there's a better destiny
I won't give up, I'll keep on believing
I still have hope, and that's what keeps me breathing

Haters...
Haters can't stop me, I'll run this town

---------------------------------------------------
The Awakening is a playful musical journey through the battle within—an exploration of self-doubt, fear, and the struggle to break free. It captures the voice inside that holds us back, the moments of uncertainty, and the eventual realization that the only true enemy is ourselves.

Narrative:
---------------------------------------------------
Krit was a small boy, often feeling like he didn’t quite fit in.
Despite his achievements, there was always a quiet voice telling him, 
"You don’t belong". 
He told himself it was normal, part of growing up. But it never went away. 
Then one night, he had a dream.

🌅 Act 1: The Dream
He ran through wide, golden fields, feeling light and free. For the first time in a long time, he didn’t have to think, everything just felt right.

🌑 Act 2: The Nightmare
Suddenly, the world grew still. The fields shrank, and a shadow appeared in front of him.
"You don’t belong."
The air thickened. He couldn’t move, and the doubt that always lingered felt overwhelming.
"You are nothing."

⚔️ Act 3: The Ascent
A shift. Krit started to move. Slowly at first, then faster. The shadow loomed, but he kept going. The doubt didn’t disappear, but it no longer held him back.

🌟 Act 4: The Awakening
He pushed forward, the weight lifting with each step. The shadow faded, and with it, the doubt.
Krit didn’t stop. He had awakened, and nothing would hold him back again.
---------------------------------------------------
I would like to thank Taron and The Sound Of Merlin for their valuable feedback and guidance in refining certain aspects of this song, truly grateful!
