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 : When I made this beat, I had only been learning how to create beats for about two years-back then, I was using FL 9. It took me a huge amount of time to figure out how to use FL Studio, lol.
As you can probably hear,
I don't use any loops.
