     I remember it being a week of musical hell for me, but I'm quite proud of the end results. Perhaps one day, I'll be able to rerecord it with a proper quartet. One can dream at least.

+
+    HOOBOY finally got this monster done. okay, here's the skinny of it.
+
+    its a homestuck medley for string quartet basically. two violins, a viola, and a cello.
+
+    the themes the song itself draws from are [[Sburban Jungle|sburban jungle]], [[Showtime (Original Mix)|showtime]], [[Endless Climb|endless climb]], [[Upward Movement (Dave Owns)|upward movement]], [[Homestuck Anthem|homestuck anthem]], [[Dissension (Original)|dissension]], and [[Savior of the Waking World|savior of the waking world]]. yes, that many songs into one song. crazy right?
+
+    the song is really supposed to be a reflection of the four kids and their relation to each other. that's right, no trolls allowed :U
+
+    anyway, i hope you enjoy it all!

     I wanted to represent the beta kids reaching their godtier status while mixing in the royalty theme that Samm's song gave me. Samm said to me himself that he thought of the crowning scene in Narnia and the four thrones, and I thought it was suitable to represent them with crowns, holding the Skaia they influenced and looking content and almost relieved in each other's company. I wanted to create something happy and a little bitter-sweet, which was the feeling I got from Samm's track. And I wanted to show that sort of unity and friendship the kids have, even after all they've been through.
