			       (the 16Bit version)

	
         Please download the 16Bit version also. It rocks more ;)
	Thanks for downloading this. I know it is way too big, but
	i couldn't do it another way. Sue me.

	This song is very special to me. It was written when i was
        overwhelmed with troubles. This song sketches the way i was
        feeling at that time.
        In the beginning a song of 30 minutes was really just a joke.
        I started working on the intro and found out that i had enough
        ideas for writing a 6 part 30 minutes song. (yep, i know that
        it is 'just' 27 minutes but what the heck).


        I will explain the way the parts are
        built up:

        Part 1:         Overture to a new beginning

        This is the intro for the song, wich i really like. In the
        beginning there will be people who think that thei're
        soundcard is broken or something, but if you listen a lot
        to this song and with enough concentration you can understand
        that this part is vital for the intro of this song. You can
        hear by the chordschemes how i was feeling at that time. My
        interest in music has always been very great, but at that
        time, my inspiration was gone.

        Part 2:         The Earth Rhymes

        This is really a story about our environment and the way we
        ,the people, are living nowadays. We keep building houses,
        we keep destroying our woods. And whatfor? For the friggin'
        money. Am i right or not? Our environment is getting worse
        every day, until we cannot live anymore on this planet.
        I wanted to make this song a little like 'Earth-music' and
        i think it worked out okay. I just tinted it a little bit
        with the rebirth 303 loop in it to make it a little better
        for your ears.

        Part 3:         The Truth

        Ever had a fantasy about space travelling? Well, that's what
        this song is all about. I was playing with Rebirth and was
        just thinking about putting a rebirth loop in the song. I
        know that many people think it's a 'lame' thing to do, but
        say for yourself. How the hell can you ever make a loop like
        this in a tracker? That is impossible, and it sounds much
        better. So don't tell me it's lame. I know that's your opinion.
        I really don't care too much.

        Part 4:         Love Hurts

        Okay. Now everybody knows why i was freaking out while writing
        composing the song, but that's not the only reason. I will not
        write about it, because it's none of your business ;-). Well,
        this song is so catching because it just clears your mind when
        you are feeling very bad. (well, in my opinion) Just sit back
        and relax the atmosphere this song exists of.

        Part 5:         Goodbye to all that

        Another weird impression by me. I just bought a digeridoo to
        play with, and it inspired me a lot in making this song. I
        recorded a sample with it, and i was stunned that it fitted
        perfectly in this song. It's a weird part, i understand but
        i think that there are a lot of people out there who like it.
        It's a little bit tribal, and it's a sequal to 'The Earth Rhymes'.
        This is just another story about our environment.

        Part 6:         I like to watch

        This is totally different than the other 5 parts, but that's
        because my life just got a complete twist around. People will
        understand when thei're talking to me. I am not myself anymore
        and i don't know whether i am going to stay on the scene or not.
        It's not that i don't like it but it's more about personal
        reasons. Please understand me a little bit. 


        I hope you will all like the song as much as i did making it.
        It sure was the toughest song i have ever made, because it
        features a lot of variation. I don't know if this will be my
        last song i will ever make on the scene. Propably now, but
        my life just got twisted around.
