This song was built around the motif of a sense of hope in a dark emotional spot, but from the manic point of view of a delusional person. The fast rhythms and piano runs can be felt as if they are thoughts swirling around in someone's head.
The production approach is very plunderphonic. Lots of songs were sampled, including one of my older BMS. Samples of existing songs begin to come off ethereal as you manipulate them, and contrasting them with electronic soundkits results in a very unique sound that I love a lot, so in short this is a "personal appeal" track.
Footwork itself is a genre that I struggle to work with, since it's a very raw and rhythm-driven genre that contradicts the focus on melody or ambience I usually have when I made music. Usually it takes me a few tries to get club genres like this right, but hopefully by focusing on experimentation I can still make a worthwhile BMS...!

Because I accidentally made the ANOTHER way too hard on my first pass through it, there's an extra pattern available this time. It's too difficult for me personally so I can't vouch for it. In general I find that footwork charts tend to be unusual due to the genre's focus on repeated kicks and contrasting rhythms, so it was interesting to make a batch of charts here. I tried to avoid focusing on the kick for 100% of the song in the three standard charts.
