This description will be long.

I tried, for April Fools, to make a song that sounded very similar to a combination of my previous songs. That didn’t come to fruition by April Fools though so I repurposed it for an Easter track to release today. The synths used I have all used before, but granted I don’t think I ever tinkered with their sounds (EQ and cutoff, resonance, KBL TRK, etc) as much as I did here. I never tried that thing where you have a slow, legato melody followed by a jumpy one, which is what I tried to do in the second half. I wanted it to be longer but felt I had accomplished everything I wanted with just 1:30. The main reason I chose Mississippi is because Missouri, all four of them, were the main inspiration behind this song and the states are similar culturally, economically, and geographically. The melody, as always, is original. I have tried remixes in the past and even on this account (Pennsylvania, Texas, and Maine, to be specific) but they are the exception instead of the rule. Enjoy!

Edit: I once again kind of fixed the song. By reducing the reverb of the drums in the beginning and adding a not abrupt outro, I made it much better than before. I made other, more minor changes, but I think you’d enjoy it more now.

Edit: I reduced the reverb on the drums in the beginning to almost nothing. I also changed out the kick drum and panned things differently to where it sounds much better than before.

Edit 2: here on June 9, 2023, I have suddenly realized how bizarre the structuring of this song is. Ok there’s a spooky intro, followed by a verse(?) section with supersaws using a melody that literally only plays during this section, and then a chorus type thing with two halves to it where it ramps up in the second half with another melody, and then the outro and then the song ends. What?!

Also the transition at 0:38 is genuinely one of my best ever, even to this day lol
