About

This piece of music touches upon the ongoing debate within humankind between the constant collapsing economy and the concern for the welfare of the people that live within it. Despite the lack of lyrical content to make this immediately evident, the constant changing between serenity intertwining and yet a growing sense of harmonic and melodic divide of the music exists throughout the piece. In this example the music gently represents the spinning sound of a recently dropped coin as to represent a sense of giving back to those who need help the most.
