Totally missed this one, love the variety this arrangement brings to the mix. Cool that you got a little groove-box, they're so fun hey?

I feel similarly to what Amy said on the AI art subject too. Like there's this deep trust in the Real, The World Soul, etc -- as we've seen throughout history, nothing can ever take that away.

This thought just popped into my head: "reality begets reality"--maybe there's something to that.

Also this is "giving main character energy" -- very soundtrack-esque song. The turning point in a character arch. The kind of song I would listen to on a bike ride in the summer as the sun is setting.

Thanks for listening, my friend! I love being on this creative/musical journey with you. I guess it's fitting to have a turning point song right at the close of Side A of this years songs. It's been fun watching the collection of songs emerge without having it all planned out in advance!
