So this is a decently old song, with OLD vocals! Imagine that, but this song has definitely reserved a special place in my heart lyrically and with the instrumental itself, so I decided to remaster it and make it sound a little "better", and as I've said before I've been thinking about reality and what it takes in this world and you know its not all a cake walk but what a really good friend said to me once was that "You've got to strive man, because shit worth reaching is never easy" and that hit home, and this song does to, so enjoy it, love it, share it, what ever you feel is necessary. ----------------------------- Download - https://soundcloud.com/garrett-johnson-arktic/staged-reality-arktic-koltunn Know where Koltunn is?
