The inspiration for this track is a vision where I am not sure whether it is a faint memory from some childhood holiday or whether I have dreamt it  :
Standing on the edge of a rocky cliff, gazing out at the tumultuous ocean below. The waves crashing against the rocks with a thunderous roar, the force of the water sending a spray of mist and foam high into the air. In the distance a lone lighthouse
overlooking the scenery. A glimps of the power and majesty of nature and our own smallness in comparison. 

Composition-wise: The piece consists of three parts (@0:01, @0:59, @1:45) that always start with the same 5 note-motive but then develop into three distinct variations with different characteristics but throughout the track there is a certain sense of dramatic scenery.
The left hand is throughout the piece mostly in octave jumps (which became quite challenging condition-wise at the end of the piece) that segment the 4/4 beat into groups of 3-3-2 (the only notable exception is the part @0:35ff with its chromatic baseline).
The right hand alternates between lyric parts such as in the beginning or @0:59ff and rhythmic syncopic parts such as @2:30ff that leads to the final where the right hand preceeds the left hand by a beat to create a sense of energy.

The track has been recorded on a Roland FP-90 and mastered in Cubase by adding compressor, reverb, a Stereo enhancer and fiddling a bit with the EQ. 
The picture was created with Stable Diffusion.

I Remember You - 
Created by RM Cribben ©️2023 All Copyrights Reserved. 

I would describe this song as a love lost, love song, about losing the love of your life. Through death.  I created this song because I was inspired by a couple who have been together for 64 year’s. The wife is now left without her husband, and having to deal with his departure.  This song will touch your heart, because to lose someone you love is a terrible thing. as anyone knows, who has had to deal with grief.  He is being buried today on the 1 June 2023.  in Nottinghamshire UK. R.I.P.

Lyrics
Monday was  a cold and raining
Tuesday never stopped it’s complaining
and Wednesday stuck around damn near longer than any day should
Thursday was a throbbing tooth ache
And even Friday didn’t give us a real break
Come quitting time I am gonna lay my hammer down 
(Chorus)
We earned this weekend baby
We earned this weekend baby
We earned this weekend
Ain’t nothing getting in our way

Friday night we’ll step out looking so great
Saturday sleep in don’t care how late
Cause little extra rest shouldn’t be some kind of guilty luxury
(Repeat Chorus)
All day Sunday we’ll cater to our best selves 
Dust off the dreams we keep   up on the back shelf
And remember the things we really love to do
(Repeat Chorus)
Cause Monday’s waiting for us anyway
Let’s live free for a couple days
If anyone deserves it, honey, it’s you and me
(Repeat Chorus)

This is the last track of Fluff's third album 'Down the Rabbit Hole'. https://open.spotify.com/album/4Iq21rBQvgXesED9Hv8GEc 
'Exit' confronts us with the sad reality, that we can't stop destroying our world, despite loving it and holding it dear. We know what we're doing, but we are too comfortable and selfish to change our ways. We just silently let it happen.
