I think there is something really interesting about New Hampshire's state motto, "Live Free or Die". New Hampshire is the sixth smallest state in the country, yet has the most imperative and bold phrase out of any state. Even the state nickname being the "Granite State" evokes such a strong imagery. This ultimatum inspired the vibe of this piece to be very bold and aggressive; it aims to capture this sort of underdog mentality.
When I hear the motto, I think about what it means to live free, and I want the listener to think that as well when hearing the music. Living in a world where people can flourish wholly as themselves, is perhaps the most important goal we can set as human beings. If it means fighting for what is right, then so be it. That to me, is what the motto "Live Free or Die" means.
