This is a pulsing, dreamy song with a pop chorus. Of course, you can tell that when you listen to it. I wrote it almost as a motivation to myself to focus on the long road instead of letting the short one bring me down. I used loops for the strings in the beginning, and the synths throughout the song. I'm a little blah about the guitar solo, but parts of it I really like and were surprising to me after I listened to it recently (I recorded them a while back). Vocally, not terrible. I was going to flesh out the arrangement with more voices, but I never have time to write that crap. That's why I was so excited about adding a simple 3-part harmony to "Without You With Me Tonight".
