You have no idea how badly I needed this.
This song sounds like something I would pay good money to put on a CD. As such, it's an incredible gift that you've given it to us for free. I thank you for your generosity, and I only ask that you never lose that trait. You are an angel.

Yes, proper credit where proper credit is due is always nice...
I started out with much the same concept in mind. All my music was to always be for free; that was the price I told myself I had to pay. But [spoiler alert] it was paid cost, all along.
Don't beat yourself up so bad, okay? Not every song is gonna amass 5 stars, no matter how hard you try. That doesnt make it a futile effort. It makes it that much more meanigful when it actually does happen.
Have yourself a merry little christmas, my friend.

Oh, and hey, you can have the commercial rights to Paid Cost if you buy them from Pacific. Shouldn't be too expensive. Actually... You know what? I may have purchased them for like $20 back in 2019. You'll have to hit up Pacific and see what they say.
Here's the song:

Hit me up if they say you're all good, that way I can clearly consent to every usage of the track. Much love! And don't mention the follow! XD
