Reviews for "Sonder"
SineRider responds:
Thanks! Those two were big influences on this track, so good ear haha
dude bombass tune n***a! I voted up there! glad to see you used my blog .gif as your icon that I recommended you use for your tunes back from several months ago, LoL! You could intertextually augment this fine work of art by including the official tumblr definition for the word sonder: the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk. Thanks for naming this tune with that word lol....I always appreciate broadening my vocabulary!
To me, this song is the definition of hip. It clearly exudes good qualities, while not being overly pretentious or too obscure to be considered hipster, LOL. my favorite aspect of this track is how you juxtaposed the swing drum rhythms with the simple yet effective melodic lines on the retro-esque synths. The tune starts off cold and fairly empty, with an underlying bittersweet tone throughout, the tune as a whole gets progressively more warm and refreshing until it reaches a complete, fulfilling finish; in essence: a sonder. Would work great with one of those new-age enlightenment-inspirational YouTube videos made by millennial college chaps. Keep up the great work!
