I'll say it outright; this is a game that makes me happy to be a gamer, and it's only a short .

is both my newest and one of my oldest songs. I started it immediately after releasing Killing Nothing several years ago. It went by several names since then... originally titled Broken Machine, it was changed to Faith in about two years ago, and shortened up to just last year.

Finding just the right vocals to go with the mood and visions I had for the proved very difficult over time, and the words only recently started coming to me.

It's turning out to be my favorite yet. Followed closely by Stolen and then Destroy. You can check out all of my released tracks on the Broken site.
