Lyrics:

A rooftop landscape, seen by the light of a thousand 
neon signs.

The sound of a saxiphone rises from the alley below.

Nobody comes up here much, so I'm suprised by the sound 
of footsteps behind me.

I turn and see the face of an old friend.

He tells me: "The future is what we make of it."

I say: "Sometimes we need to go where destiny sends us."

This song represents several firsts:

  - I've always despised drum loops as being repetitive,
    unoriginal, and wasteful of space. A friend teased
    that this was because I didn't know how to use them.
    I took this as a challenge, hence the drum loop.

  - This is the first time I've ever written a song with
    lyrics. Is there a way to record a sample while 
    listening to an IT?
