Now we are constantly reminded that, although there are lots of good people in the world, there are just as many horrible people.

B. J. NovakFor me, titles are either a natural two-second experience or stressful enough to give you an ulcer. If they don't pop out perfect on the first try, they can be really hard to repair.

All that matters is if you feel the music and it captures the element your going for.
