An orchestral cover of a song that hit me right in the feels.

I've been struggling to finish anything music-wise. I'm not particularly fond of my music and I think it shows in my scarce activity. Nevertheless, I realise I've hit a plateau making music and I haven't really bothered to make anything new.

And then I listened to this song.

Hearing about Mumei's experience with loneliness, I found it highly relatable. I'm a lonely person. Despite having the honour of getting to know wonderful, supportive people, I can't help but feel like an outsider - I've always been like that, I've always thought like that. But the thought is gradually becoming less invasive and I'm starting to appreciate the little things.

I felt an urge to write music after listening. The many layers in the composition, the lyrics and visuals, I felt inspired to write. Thus I started working on this track, with all kinds of struggles in the process.

Both my writing and mixing - it's far from perfect. I'm not particularly well-versed in this style of orchestral music and I'm still catching up and bettering myself on the orchestral front. Even now I feel like this track could have been much better than it currently is, but I will never improve if I cease making music or just keep fussing over all the details.

I feel like the central theme of this song is loneliness, but there's also a sliver of hope. That hope for me is the progress I am making and realising.
I'm feeling grateful to have found a song I can relate to and I hope it has found something to resonate with for you as well. As for this composition, I hope you'll enjoy listening to it!
