Ah, the first of the last. If you hadn't noticed, the previous three songs on the album were all covers. That's because I had taken a break, and when I came back, I threw those three covers on, having made them before beginning work on the album. However, at this point I felt I needed to finish the album with some more original pieces, leading to what are arguably the three best songs on the album: Steam's Horizon, Boomflash, and Fort Nova. All three are solid songs, with little to no errors, solid instrument selection, and all feature new music techniques.
Steam's Horizon is one of the few songs that tells a story, once you know the context. That context is the book that I wrote last November: Children of the Planet, which is available to read if you're interested. Long story short, this song portrays a country at the brink of war, with mixed feelings of hope and fear for the coming days; keeping this in mind when listening to the song gives something more to it.
