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

musically they’re quite different but this gives me the same sublime “season finale” feelings as album art for Blues for SalvadorBlues for Salvador

like you’re watching the world end but it’s really beautiful

like album art for Blues for SalvadorBlues for Salvador, this song mostly features a souped up lead guitar over a sea of synths - only this song features more percussion
