this is, like, the best thing ever :0

this is my favorite piece of music put out this year. you've done it! you've won 2023.

starting with the eq, and the soundscape; there's little super-high-end, and a lot of stereo depth on the low end. not only does that create a brilliant calming atmosphere, but it creates an atmosphere that effortlessly floats around you like water. the kick is soft but powerful, the bass is calming but moving, and the snare is light but still very present.

the instrumentation and soundscapes you use create a perfect nature feel - the song brings me to a vibrant dusk-ey place in my head where i can just sit and close my eyes and listen. i love how the leafy, grassy footstep sounds mesh perfectly in time with the kick, and the bells and melodies sprinkled around really make this song something else.

what really topped this, though, was the chord changes and non-standard times. the occasional skipping of the last half-beat was so smooth. i found myself naturally bobbing every which way, not even caring where i was, just that the song was perfectly jumping in and out wherever the hell it felt like. the key changes, just as well, brought everything to a new level every time they hit. there were so many, and they each transformed the song in their own unique way.

throughout the song, i had such a beautiful image in my head, such a nice atmosphere. seriously, i genuinely think you've won 2023 with this song
