Description : I have to thank the Looperman community. In winter of 2013 I was sitting in my house at 4am crying because after pretending it wasn't true for so long it finally hit me that one of the closest relationships I had ever had was over. Miserable, I came on this site looking for some musical inspiration to put my feelings into music and came across a piano loop that hit the spot. 10 minutes later, I had this song. After sitting on it for almost two years, last year I had the chance to make it a reality for my new EP (out now!) and I'm so ridiculously proud of it. Took a few dozen tries in the studio to get it done because I couldn't keep my composure, but it was definitely worth it. A lot of my songs originate from loops I find here, so I have to thank you all for being so creative and wonderful and constantly inspiring me. You're all pretty great.

-Austin

Beautiful song, full of feelings!

The quality of singing is crazy good, with a nice voice mix making it really nice to listen to!

The piano is very well played - you re-played a loop from here?

Thanx a lot for sharing back with LM community! :)

Thank you so much! Yes, I found a piano loop that was pretty close to what I was looking for so I used that as a basis to build off from, and then my producer and I worked out a new arragement and he played it.

Description : At last I found some time to create something I'd never done before. I made up my mind to mash up tracks by some artists from Looperman and here it is!
Tracks and samples used:
JAI26 - "LM Jam"
PaperKup - "Going"
Pnnywze - synths and drums
Piano, some percussion, VOX chops, arrangement, FX, mixing and mastering by me.
Huge credit goes to JAI26, PaperKup, and Pnnywze for their awesome original tracks and great playing that came together perfectly!
