At TRSAC 2025 ⊂(^(工)^)⊃ This song was originally made in Renoise with vocals in mind, but as I've been struggling with insomnia the last months, I've focused on exercise to exhaust my body such that I'm able to sleep. This has given much less time to make music than I would like, and the vocals are thus still incomplete. Also, to my surprise, TRSAC doesn't have a Streaming Music compo this year. I can thank my wife for urging me to reproduce this song in Impulse Tracker so I can now happily submit it to TRSAC 2025's Oldskool Music Competition. I have to admit that felt liberating producing in Impulse Tracker again after not using it for over 25 years. I'm definitely going to be spending more time producing oldskool tracker modules in the coming months, which excites me! The idea for the song is that we all have hard days, especially as of late, and that everything seems bleak and depressing – I feel you. Times are hard. However, we all need to remind ourselves that we matter, we have value, and we are loved by someone. .: Lyrics :. If you feel like you’re worn out. Stretched thin, unable to make it through. I feel you. In constant doubt and frustration. Stressed out, ‘ca use everything’s overdue. I feel you. Petrified and small. You crawl into a ball. It may feel like you have lost it all, But you are not alone. I will cradle your fall. Depressed and in isolation. Feels like everything’s painted blue. I feel you. Can’t speak, just wanting to scream out. A message hoping to reach you too: I feel you. We all have a role A purpose in it all Face your fears, break down your wall, You are not alone Rise and answer your call! .: Credits :. As always, I want to thank my wonderful wife Anneli aka litn for pushing me in the right direction with the song, and for being patient with me completing it. I'm also grateful to her for being able participate at TRSAC 2025. Being able to participate in the demoscene means a lot to me, so I'm indebted to her for being able to be such a happy music-producing, traveling bear. I love you so much! Thanks to my two wonderful daughters who have also been patient with me and enthusiastic about me competing in my first music competition since TRSAC 2022. I love you both more than words can express! Thank you to Modulo One and MONO MAGNUS for last minute mix feedback. .: Greetings :.
