Thanks, dude, I'm glad you enjoyed it! And yeah, I found the original song to have a feeling like.. like a bittersweet look at a happy past. There's a lot there considering the context of the comic. Covering only the theme would be super limiting with what I'd wanna do in it. So, that's why I added the angsty verses. I feel like while I had the idea of happiness and a mix of happy and sad in the same respect, it was missing this aggressive nature like the comic has in its action scenes. Aggression and sadness happen to go together quite easily in my opinion, so there it is lol
All the instruments are different aspects of the emotions in my overblown view of it lol and the small bits of morse code were fun to write tbh like the quote "Attention to all venator(s)" twice in the first verse, "SHaDe" repeating in the chorus, and "PS" between the second verse and the last chorus~ Believe it or not, that simple string section at the end was a little harder to write than the piano solo xD I don't even play piano! It's a little hard for me to tell what's happy in music sometimes, since everything I write tends to be sad or angry lol
I sayyyyy you go for it, whether you think you can manage it or not. That's basically what I did here lol I ended up surprising myself with how much I ended up loving it! Maybe the same'll happen for you, dude~
