“The Rise” tells a story of someone who is down on their luck. It starts slowly, with tension in the chords representing the hard times they are going through. The music picks up as they start to pick themselves up and work to be happier and enjoy life. Near the end of the piece, they begin to see how their hard work has paid off. The piece ends in a faster, more upbeat style as everything blossoms into the future they worked so hard to achieve. Everything a person desires is within reach.
