NOT TAKEN. SPRING DRIVE MIX. APPALACHIAN HOUSE. EDM.

FIRST IN A SERIES Progressive House, Copland-inspired intro, 124–132 BPM, extended structure, ambient textures, spoken word lyrics, dynamic drops [Intro, 124 BPM, Copland-inspired, Spoken Word, 60 sec]
Two roads diverged in a golden wood
And I stood long, where silence stood
One path worn, the other kept
The leaves untouched, the promise left

[Ambient Groove Intro, 124–126 BPM, Warm Build, 90 sec]
(Drums enter softly — deep kick, hi-hat shimmer)
(Tempo increases slowly from 124 to 126 BPM)
(Melodic pad expands, subtle arps)

[Build-up, 126 BPM, Rising Tension, 90 sec]
I chose the path less lit, less known
And in its quiet, I walked alone
(Noise risers, clap rolls, harmonic layering)
(Pre-drop suspense grows)

[Pre-Drop, 126→132 BPM, Lydian Scale Run, 30 sec]
(C Lydian run: C–D–E–F#–G–A–B–C ascending)
(Pause before drop, one beat silence)

[Drop, 132 BPM, Full Energy, Instrumental, 60 sec]
(Driving 4/4 groove, saw bass, rhythmic synths)
(No lyrics — high energy festival feel)

[Breakdown, 128 BPM, Reflective Mood, 45 sec]
Years have passed, and still I see
That choice has made the shape of me
Not regret, not loud acclaim
But quiet shift — and not the same

[Drop 2, 128 BPM, Instrumental Return, 45 sec]
(Drop groove returns with variation)
(More percussion, deeper bass)

[Outro, 126 BPM, Ambient Fade, Spoken Word, 60 sec]
Two roads diverged...
And I... I took the one not taken
(Pads swell, drums fade, reverb echoes out)
