I was in a "meeting" with the team even though I was actually sick with COVID because someone walked into my house with it and gave it to me without even knowing. They were talking about how the game had this like sad undertone about missing family and working trying to support them from abroad. I wanted to capture that idea in this one somehow. I feel like it worked but I feel there can be a few changes.

Namely, I think the melody for the A and B sections sound so plain. I feel like I'm hitting the wrong notes or like those notes don't mix with the harmony to create the effect I want. Only the C section melody I feel gives off the vibe that I want. I personally feel that I'm just bad with minor keys since I rarely write sad or serious stuff. It's just a weird thought I had but I feel like if I actually tried I would do better.

This one thought I'm a bit iffy about because on one had it sounds alright but on the other it could probably sound better. I feel like the development of the piece is relatively flat. It's just drums, bass and guitar with an electric keyboard and a music box on top. I really feel I could have done a bit extra with a few more instruments. At least the song actually has a C section instead of my usual AB form. Having that extra section adds a lot and I should really learn to do it more.

Even though I've made a few songs prior to this one, I was really unhappy with the work I've submitted. I don't know why I just got so fixated on the idea that I was letting everyone down. I just don't know what was wrong with me at the time and I'm not even sure why it happened. At the very least, it's all over now.
