Made for the Newground Audio Deathmatch Contest 2021 - Round 2!
This song was composed in layers over time, I had no idea what to make of it until more than half of it was finished.
The quotes are from the audiobook version of 'Tao Te Ching', a classic Chinese philosophical text, translated and read by Stephen Mitchell.
Big thanks to my friend Woo for his help during the mixing process.
Special thanks to @HelenaRubberheart for greatly helping out with the quotes and the title.

Thank you very much!
So sick!

Thank you so much!
One of the best things I've had the pleasure of listening to while judging NGUAC '21. Everything just comes together extremely well. While maybe slightly pretentious, I think the spoken word passages are implemented perfectly and creatively. The mix is great, all of the instruments sound great, its all just really quite spot on. And that Dream Theatre-esque midsection was fabulous! Fantastic job on this
MaldivirDragonwitch responds:
Wow!! Thank you so very much for your kind words! I felt the spoken words would be a bit cliched and pretentious, but the deadline was nearing and I just went with it, hoping it wouldn't put people off! This is also my first mix I'm really proud of and the DT-like mid section is my personal favorite in the song! ^_^ Thank you very much again, so glad you liked it!
It turned out quite well. Respect!
MaldivirDragonwitch responds:
Thanks a lot! ^_^
The song is solid, I really like the rambly chaotic break.
MaldivirDragonwitch responds:
Thank you very much, so glad you like it! :)
