That's right, MISTBORN MONDAYS ARE BACK! We are now into what I'm calling Mistborn May! This is the first of multiple fanmade Mistborn soundtrack pieces I'll be posting this month; the goal is to finish and post at least one song every Monday this month.

Sorry it's been so long since a Mistborn upload, the past few months were kicking. My. Butt. It was school, mainly. School was kicking my butt. But I'm back and our first Mistborn track of the month is another version 2 of a previous upload. I was never satisfied with how the original version of Vin's theme sounded. When I first uploaded it, I had put a whole month of effort into making the string orchestra sound as good as I could, but even the best of Logic Pro's legato string voices still sound like 💩. Even the strings I used for this version (from Musescore 4) aren't perfect, but they're a HUGE improvement.

As was the case with the original upload, the artwork used for this is a wonderfully subdued, somber depiction of Vin by the absolutely incredible artist LaMaery.

So back to what this song is about. This is, as you have probably guessed, Vin's theme. It mainly emphasizes her pre-Kelsier street urchin life, the hardships she endured and the strengths and weaknesses it gave her. It's meant to sound sorrowful, mostly calm and subdued but with a brief swelling of grandeur to emphasize both the epic journey before her but also the great depths of her pain. Think of it as an introduction to her character, near the beginning of the first book. And if you're familiar with the "main theme" of the Mistborn Suite, her theme is very similar to the series main theme I've made. They're reflective of each other, emphasizing her role as the true main character of the first Mistborn trilogy.

This is basically the same song as the original version, but with better-sounding virtual instruments. Actually, scratch that: the string parts have more divisi and harmonization to them than the original version, so I guess that's another improvement. I hope this sounds like a worthy improvement over the original! I want Vin's theme to sound good. And I hope you think it sounds good too!

And if you ask me... I think 3:16 is the best part of the song. ;) Whatever your favorite part is, enjoy listening! Stay tuned for more Mistborn music!
