In this bit of writing I think I did a good job of summarising the song. Beyond that, I feel there could be more about imagery, or at least a more complete description of what was happening in the song.
Memorex Memories’ “Violet” is from Pictures of Purple Skies.
I hope you enjoy.

Pulsing synth sounds fill a melody between the spaces and continue to do so when a steady beat arrives. When something closer to bass comes in that space no longer exists.
Subtle sounds move around this grouping, and move through it too. All seems slow and relaxed, and maybe this is late afternoon. Maybe this is near sunset. Maybe it is night. Bits of synth appear here and there, giving some shape but not taking over and this still could be many different moments.
The beat pulls away and the sounds continue on their own before most of them stop. There’s an idea of pause and then the beat builds up and all returns. That synth that was here and there in bits appears in a more connected form, but it seems more distant and perhaps it is a different sound. It doesn’t matter so much as the slow glide that comes through the sounds. It’s a relaxed flow and it moves in steady repetition until most of the sound stops, leaving one of the more subtle sounds to trail off as the song ends.
