The Instrumental
I created this instrumental from scratch with the intent to produce a ethereal, triumphant sound. I used orchestra hits and deep snares to give it a heavy percussive beat and soft strings in the backgr0und to add the fantasy feeling to it. I only use a couple short samples in this one. I chopped out a sound clip in a Helen Baylor gospel track, and some strings from a 70′s track of which I can’t recall.
The Words
This was originally going to just be an instrumental, as most of my tracks start out, but I was asked to do an anthem for North Carolina State’s soccer team, and this beat best suited what I was trying to get out of a what was going to be used as intro music. I pumped up my otherwise mellow vocal excitement to add to the already heavy beat and wrote a short, repetitive, chorus to make it infectious and Kubashi, I was done.
Wolf Coming Out is an anthem and was written for that purpose. In the past I have received accolade for my vocal delivery and in some ways take pride in “telling the story,” so with this track it’s no different. At first listen, it doesn’t deliver a knock-out blow, but it is catchy, and that wears on you. Give it a spin…
