Hey guys, it's my 1 Year Anniversary on Newgrounds! :D I've come so incredibly far, and it's just amazing. I couldn't have done it without all of my you guys. I really hope you enjoy this one. This is possibly one of my best songs yet in my opinion. It's been mastered wonderfully by my Dad, Robert VanZandt, who took the time to master my song to make sure it was PERFECT and didn't have any clipping or anything. We ran it through several programs to get rid of the distortion in the piano until we finally got rid of it. That was probably the hardest part of mastering. :P But I think it all paid off. :) Anyways, I hope you enjoy. The original song was, surprisingly, made in about seven to eight hours (not counting the mastering), while my first song took me two weeks (that one didn't even have any mastering), and this is probably the first song where I can say I felt that everything was right with it when I took a listen to it the next day, and it was ready for mastering. Well, enough rambling. I'm just really proud of this song for some reason. Anyways, enjoy!

Programs Used: Mixcraft 7: Home Studio, FL Studio for the drums, and Logic Pro with EZMix for the mastering (plus one other program that got rid of the distortion that I forgot the name of. I'll go ask when I get the chance and update the song with it).

VSTs Used (because I'm feeling nice): Acoustica Instruments, DM's Chip Machine, and Messiah. Only three VSTs, with only one of them not being a free one! :O But all of those VSTs are amazing so you should check them out.

Effects Used (because I'm still feeling nice):

PIano: Classic Compressor, Acoustica EQ, and Acoustica Reverb.
Messiah (sub and EQ'ed): Acoustica Delay.
Crash Cymbal: Classic Compressor, Acoustica EQ, and Acoustica Reverb.
