So, I had a lovey dovey orchestral attempt made for this challenge. I scrapped it after it was getting nowhere. Then, I tried to make a classical romantic piece to submit it. Scrapped again due to a lack of vision and no connection to the prompt.
It was at this point that I realized that I couldn't try to make a love song without it being fake. I don't have the experience of a romantic relationship, and I don't think I'll be able to get one. So, I decided to just write whatever this was.
The title "Half-Empty" has two different meanings. One of them being the Aristophanes POV of being split in two and being empty from the other half. The other part is my self pessimism shown a bit in the song. (I'm fine, you don't need to try and comfort me. The song allowed me to relieve myself from these negative emotions)
Probably won't win, but I needed to get something out there.
