As I shy away from water
I close my lungs to air
I climb outside of my own head now
So I can forget what's there
Then I laugh out loud in sorrow
I quietly cry for joy
Till I turn my eyes toward the starry sky
And remember love once…

Another electronica styled piece for Ocarina of Time's Lost Woods. I think I made the melody too low, what do you think. Other then that I think I captured the ecentricity of the song through this mix. Also the choi adds a bit of fidelity I think.

Mostly driven by electronics, most of the people who listened to its demo form said it was too repetitive. After I added the guitar overdubs and the break in the middle, those same people liked it much better.
