Kor-Rune... man! This track, to me, serves as a reminder for how much I missed your music. The beautiful atmospheres, the creative chord progressions, the plethora of varied sections, the contrasts, the mood changes. You are such a talanted musician and no matter how many times I tirelessly repeat it, it will never do your musical skill justice. Fantastic work with this track. I can concur with SoundChris that this is one of your better works. It has one of my favourite intros you've done, and the vocal work is absolutely TOP NOTCH. Seriously, some of the best vocals I've heard from you. Of course, in terms of composition you certainly don't fall behind. Complex harmonies and fantastic melodies 4 dayz.
One topic I'd like to talk about would be the mood changes and contrasts. You've got some pretty extreme changes in this track! You call it ADHD, but in a lot of cases I honestly think they work beautifully, especially since they comply with the flow of the lyrics. 1:51's mood change, while very brave, sounds great in my opinion, and I have to give you credit for approaching it in such a suitable manner by ending that section on a weak/unfinished note. 2:21's section has a bunch of mood changes, from bouncy and detached to brooding and legato, and I personally loved the contrast. The only change I didn't like was 0:45 which feels entirely nonsensical and off-putting. While I'm a fan of your intro, because of that transition I'm not a fan of how well it fits with the rest of the track. Mixing was great, if a bit undefined at times.
As always, finding faults in your track remains difficult. Superb work!
SCORE: 9.6/10
