I don't even know who I am anymore.

If you recall the episode with Iron Will, this piece was meant to convey the scene following Fluttershy's realization of the monster she'd become. Usually, I like to leave my work up to interpretation, but the inspiration from the show and the picture was so strong that I felt it to be necessary, if only for times few and far between.

So, here's a little backstory on this, and a general update on my life.
As many of you know, I've always wanted a factory job, and I finally managed to get one about a month ago; I now work 3rd shift (11:30pm to 7:30am) as a weld tester for air compressors.
It's rough on the body, but the pay is enough for me to move out, so it's fantastic.
The only problem is that when I get home, I'm completely wiped out, so I wake up around 3 in the afternoon, and it's hard to want to work on music immediately after waking up.
It's been getting progressively easier, but it's a real challenge, just finding a balance of working and playing.
You guys are really important to me, and I've got a lot of new ideas, but it's just hard to find the time.

Anyways, I was approached to submit something for a secret Ponies at Dawn project, now known as Anthology, and while I knew I had the ability to pretty much work on it whenever, I also had no idea what I should do.
I thought at first about going for a Tirek boss theme, then a Chrysalis boss theme, and after hitting brick wall after brick wall, it was a day before the submission deadline, and I had nothing.
So, I did the only thing I could think of, and channeled all my emotion into music.
I got the melody started on the night before, and the rest of the song was done on the due date.
I'm not really happy with it since there are a few areas where I could've executed a lot better, but I'm not gonna make any changes since it's already on the album.
The best I can do is promise you guys that the next song won't be as rushed, and as always, I'll put 100% effort into making sure it's as good as I can get it -- you guys deserve nothing less.


If you've been reading up to this point, I'm incredibly thankful.
As some of you know, I have a Discord server now:
https://discord.gg/5ehrcg5
It's a calm place, so don't worry about notification overload.

I also have my recent WIPs posted there, so if you wanna hear 'em, you can find all of them there.
I am so thankful to have you guys, since I couldn't be doing any of this without you.
Stay awesome; I hope to see you all again for the next song.
