So after a month and a half of working on this song, it's finally ready. I put 100% of my effort and the skills I've aquired into this song even though I doubted if it would be successful. I don't know why I pushed as hard as I did but I feel like I really accomplished something big here. I thank Newgrounds for helping me so much when I submitted this as a work in progress, it really means everything and everyone's encouragement probably made the song what it is now. I'm going to keep trying to improve and hopefully someday attract a label's interest. This is only the beginning!

I personally like the second half a lot better than the first, It was written later and I had more experience at the time I made it. If this song was remixed into a more club based track it would focus around the instrumentation of the second half :)
The quality got lowered slightly to fit the filesize limit, it's at 192 kbps, but unless you're an audiophile you shouldn't notice anything.
