about

The concept of light and dark, good and evil, joy and fury, embodied within this guitar and synth-based composition. It starts off dark and develops upon it like someone's inner desires and selfishness taking over their lives. Hope prevails as they combat this darkness, before it returns and strikes hard with fury. They seek change and strive to repent, however, with trials and tribulations still within them.

A (Em, Esus4), Aadd9, A
E

A Section repeats, however with movement in the bass:
Over Am: 1, 9, 1, 11
Over Ab: 3, #9, 1, #9,
Over C: 1, 1, 9,
Over E: 1

B Section repeats, however, an A phrygian dominant motif repeats, and a rising scale-like line is played in Am / A Harmonic minor (b7 and 7 used).
