I wanted to make a whole song; something with a beginning and end, and I wanted some length to it so I tried something new. It's not much and listening to it now makes me worry that I hold on to my familiar sounds a little to much but a step is a step.

I tried to not have to much different noises at once, an early version had 4 noises at once sometimes and i stopped myself vigorously this time. Now the highest count is 3 and that's sometimes including the violin-esq sound that comes per 4th part.

I do like some parts of the song, the "violin-esq" part has a nice end to it after the 4th time it plays. The bass feels amazing to play with but you, sadly, don't get to enjoy that luxury with me, however I feel it ended up being quite decent in the song as well so I hope you find joy in knowing I had fun creating it.

The name - Hold on to the Beat of the Heart - comes from my initial impression of the beat. Heartbeats seem to be a thing I cannot stray away from and as I've surely told you before, I make up little stories while creating songs. This one was supposed to be about a person staying inches from death with the help of medical equipment and trained professionals, at the end, the person would die and the heartbeat would stop while the rest carry on.

However, as I tend to loop the songs while creating them to get a good feel of the tone, if a beat is to sharp or just not right. If so then I adjust it and eventually get a result I can live with but I digress.

I found out that, when looped - the person never really dies. Metaphorically speaking, the person dies and is revived to suffer a little longer before dying again. The loop will never end, and therefor the person will never end either. I fell in love with that concept and continued from there and therefor, hold on to the beat of the heart is the name. A terrible name, and a name I could easily change, right now, this very minute... and I did. It's now "Hold My Heart"

I wanted "Hold my Heart until I Die" but let's not go from 0 to 100 immediately. I've probably titled my previous songs far worse things but I feel Hold My Heart is enough. It's not what I wished for but it's what I feel I need right now. Cannot Sleep would also be a good name but that's the name of the collection so mmmmm.
