walked around my old neighborhood in san francisco, turned a corner to an incredible view while listening to this song and genuinely ascended

sometimes nostalgia hurts so good

the descending motif in the harmony/bass line reminds me of album art for Redpepper DragonflyRedpepper Dragonfly

feels very dramatic

i love the instrumentation on this song - its a lead guitar and then a bunch of layered synths. no drums, no bass (except a bass synth)

creates a very airy, spacey feeling. sounds very 80s
