The colorful cover art deceived me
I clicked on the YouTube link, not knowing exactly what to expect.
Then that weird and unsettling pad began playing.
Then the piano came.
Then the pizzicato.
Then the violin.
Desolation and isolation. With just a few entries.
The visuals don't make me feel any more comfortable.
But then 1:56 came and... I thought it was going to be more light-hearted... Yet harmony said otherwise, and the moment I stopped wondering about my feelings BOOM with the piano chords once again, except that this time we're going somewhere evil... Notes on the violin get shorter and shorter, percussions can't stop.
It's unsettling.
And I love it.
The only downside, if we can call it so, is that I feel like it lacks some kind of buildup, some more tension towards 3:49 that can justify the sudden change.
All in all though, quite polished, but also creative and suggestive, I've enjoyed it!
