Using Garageband I managed to make a version of a song I composed back in Spring \u201907. The song was originally going to have lyrics, in Latin, as you may be able to tell by the scarce quality to this. The words were basically going to say \u201cWhy must we all be so sad, when surrounding us is so much joy and light!\u201d Eventually I just gave up on giving the song lyrics, but have never been able to record it until now. Unfortunately, I only had myself to use as a basis, and so it sounds a little…wrong, especially the bass. It was also supposed to be a lot faster in some of the sections of it, but due to my facilities, it would have been hard for me if I randomly changed the tempo in the middle of the song. The last part, which is an almost jazz-inspired segment, was originally to be very lyrical, which is why it sounds so silly right now. It was to represent an answer to the question posed: because life is filled with constant hardship and strife.\nHaving lost its lyrical sense, I named it \u201cVer Frigidus,\u201d or Cold Spring in Latin, due to the deep connection I feel this piece has with spring, particularly very early spring when flowers are just beginning to pop out. Enjoy what I wish I could call my \u201cOpus II.\u201d<\/p>\n
