A theme that explains itself pretty much, 'Flight' is up for this week's soundshoot. Literally, it means flying high into the air. This word always lead me to think about airplanes, as I spent most of my life staying at places near the air terminal, I often see planes passes by in the sky.

Everytime I see the white trail that a plane left, I would ask... what kind of people are in that plane? Where are they going? for what reason? It always amaze me whenever I thought of the amount of dreams waiting to be realize in that plane, and that flight taken by certain passengers might just change their life and lead them to success.

It's not just a flight, it's a life changing journey:

"Look Up" is my soundshoot that expresses this feeling. Starting off with plane flight sound effect and muted guitar strumming, it's like standing on ground while watching others reaching that height. Piano and strings came in to add on the heavy thoughts and mix feelings. Hi hats and cross sticks enters, bringing up the pace, a desire to reach that height.

From standing, it turns into running as the song goes into a full band setting with electric guitar lead and turbulent air sound effect. Inserting a wing flapping sound effect, followed by a transposed chorus, it's like after trying several times, we finally nearer to our dream.

Spread your wings and prepare to fly high:

"All who had spread terror in the land of the living went down uncircumcised to the earth below."
-Ezekiel 32:24-

It's always heard that as you persevere, you will realize your dream. I'm not too sure of being stubborn to reach success, but I do hope that this passion will not fade away... too soon at least. Hope that some day in the future we will all be where we are looking up at today, Amen.
