This track was the first time that I got to be the last track on an album and I was so, so ecstatic with the choice. Now to be the first track on an album eventually.

I love Tiggs' mixing and I must collaborate sometime again with them and this might be my favorite of all of my tracks mixes, my own included... though I don't think most of mine are very good, lol.

Beyond that, performers killed it. I don't have enough kind words to describe how much performers killed it. Between the simple backing of DS Music, Alejandro, and Jake Kargl, they really push the track to the next level. The choir sounds beautiful and angelic, while still retaining that haunting vibe of the actual final boss theme.

And the wind solos? I have no, and I mean no idea how I managed a Dixieland Solo with 4 instruments. That was pain to direct, and I don't think I'd ever have that many (or more) overlapping solos again. I do think risks like these are a beautiful testament to how much I try to push wherever my current skill is at. Sometimes a little too hard, but thanks to the arrangement help, I felt like I could afford the risk.
