A new phase
by @erikleppen
Liner Notes
This is a song about working, working, working until you burn out and then have to recover and find a new life balance. The old situation, while fun, won't return. (But I think the new situation is pretty enjoyable too.)
Musically, this is probably my most 'normal' song for the month. It's just 4/4, it's generally #happy and #uplifting, except for the break which I kept short, and I didn't make things too complicated.
Comments
oooh, like this pleasant tune here. It's my kind of thing, similar to ambient stuff I've heard on musicforprogramming.
It definitely put a smile on my ugl.. erm face. I like that there's a little bit of an 80's throwback feel in the rhythm (at least in a place or two), just enough to make aging folks like me hear it, but not enough to be too dated or even too similar. I like the break, too. It's a nice dynamic shift. It isn't exactly UNhappy, but definitely more pondering, thoughtful. And the transition back out of it is wonderful. Almost like a saloon piano or maybe an amusement park theme (definitely more appropriate) but, again, just enough to give me the feels, not enough to throw off the experience.
You're right it's a little feel good happy song. I like it and now I'm happy 🙂
It find in it the bouncing and hopefull feel I had with the anime I watched in my youth. Maybe the sound texture of the synth plays a role too ? The bridge is less bright, but calm and relax.
