I am not entirely sure where to start this description.

This is the most time and effort I can remember investing into a single piece, at least in recent memory. In a sense, this could be said to be a love song. I wrote it as an appreciation piece for my partner who moved to Finland for me.

Though moving countries comes with many wonderful experiences and opportunities, there are also many unforeseen challenges. There's bureaucracy to go through, language barriers, culture clashes, dependency, and most of all, the uncertainty and seemingly endless waiting. Because of these things it can feel like you're stuck without many options that could help move you forward.

That feeling of being stuck in limbo and desperately trying to find a way out is the cornerstone of this piece. There is more to it though, but I'll leave the rest up to the interpretation of the listener. Please enjoy, and thanks for listening!

For this track, I recommend just listening to it instead of/ before you watch the video. That said, here it is anyway:

I absolutely adore this song so much. It shows a lot of what I like to look for in songs :) amazing.

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Aww, thank you so much! I'm really glad you like it, as I put a lot of myself into this one <3

playing this you totally transmitted the sadness and atmosphere of a dark, lonely, rainy evening
that was truly sad and amazing in the same time
i like the part, where melody goes up and part that starts at 2:44
this song is a masterpiece and in comparsion to other songs it doesn`t have parts that repeat and every piece is unique
you motivated me to continue visiting this site as i used to
thank you dude, it was amazing

This is one of my personal favourites of my own creation, so I'm really thankful for your praise. I composed this in order to help process many things. I feel like that's why the piece isn't trying to be anything else than what it is, which is why it doesn't really follow any conventional structures. I am glad that you felt drawn to that as well! Thanks a lot for your kind words; I'm happy you are back.

This is truly moving, well done!
There's so many ways to interpret this, and I'm sure as I listen to it more and more, I'll be able to imagine new meanings for this song. I wish I had discovered this sooner, better late than never though I suppose

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Thank you for your words. It's always nice to hear what other people think of my compositions, and this one happens to be a personal favourite. I too am glad you discovered it ^___^

Beautiful, idk what else to say i love it

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

That is more than enough. Thank you!

I'll let you in on a secret too. I'm working on a big(probably not that big but oh well) project with this song.
:wink:

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Ooh, how exciting! Let me know when you've done it :)
