Hey NG, second classical song I have ever made here :P

This one has driven me up the wall, I must admit. Worked on this one for ages as I just didn't know how to structure it at all. All credit to my brand new Roland JUNO-Di for this one, got it on Wednesday and I am very impressed with it. I think this turned out well but I've heard this song about 200 times, no sarcasm, so I can't really tell.

This song has everything I admire about artists here on Newgrounds. They have a great understanding of the sound, but more over how it is going to affect the listener. This song has caused me to be silent and listen to every note with a pang of regret and a pang of joy. It's amazingly beautiful, and it literately has almost brought me to tears. Thank you so much for creating this piece.

Thank you very much for the review!

Passion

The boy sits in the cool arms of a shadow, cast upon the ground by a large oak tree. He gazes into the valley in front of him, filled with nature and life that calls out his name. He needs inspiration. He needs something to feel passion for. He looks upon the beauty of earth, and think to himself as he stares onto the blank sheet of paper in his hands. He begins to write. The pen in his hand crafts the thoughts from his heads into a wonderful composition of words. He stops. He thinks. He looks up again, and reaches his heart out into the world around him.

He soars over the trickling rivers. The warm colors of turning trees wash over his body. He reaches his arms outwards, and breaths in the wonderful harmony of the valley. Boards feed their young ones as foxes scatter into bushes and rush around hedges. Deer lay peacefully inside their homes, curling next to their loved ones. A centipede burrows through the dirt and sleeps inside of its hole. Clouds up expand and dissolve in the wonderful beams of light that carry them. The wind rushes over his face as he hold these things inside his arms. He writes word after word until the entire page is full with letters. He understands now. He feels at peace. Satisfied with his work, he gathers his notebook, takes one last look at the earth, and heads back to his quiet home.

Back in his wooden cabin, there is an old woman in a bed, dying of age. She smiles as he walks up, handing her a small piece of paper. "Sit down," she says in a raspy voice. He pulls up an old chair, and sits next to the woman, holding her hand as she reads. After a few moments, a smile forms itself across her battered face. She looks into his eyes as he does to her, and they kiss. She looks up towards the ceiling, and takes one last graceful breath. The man squeezes her hand, and cries as the sheet of paper follows his tears to the floor below. Written upon its surface lies the words, "I Love You" and nothing else.

Thanks for writing this, what an interesting read! :D
