One listen for this one.

I queued up this song a while ago as I really wanted to write about it, but I kept putting it off. Today I forced myself to write about it and I think that was a good thing to do as I think most of this turned out okay.

There is a bit of disconnect in places and I feel there’s a sense of hesitancy throughout, but I covered the song pretty well.

Seascapes of the Interior’s “Symbiont Step” is from “All safe, all well”.

I hope you enjoy.

A hum appears in a thin spread, but it expands. It pushes out from a line, revealing more sound; Revealing a greater range than first implied. What is there seems distant and vague. It’s almost as though a memory coming into form, or perhaps it is an idea coming into full view.

Sounds stretch and soon they seem to dip for a moment, then come back, thin once more. Pressed into a moment and stretching forward.

Keys enter into the space and they move around, examining the space and reaching out. The hum disappears and the keys linger for a moment. Then percussion, bass and guitar come in and they all move slowly together. Fragments of the hum appear here and there, though maybe it is the memory of it appearing in the sound.

More guitar comes in and seemingly moves with another stringed instrument, drawing out and elongating emotion and expressing a sense, perhaps, of beauty. Eventually the piano grows in detail, carrying across through range as strings also elongate, seemingly following pulses. Percussion has been changing shape too, and gradually it all moves toward a differing melodic pattern, but then it mostly stops.

The keys linger and disappear and background sound starts to rise; it comes forward. It is the thin spread from before, but it is different. Something akin to voice can be heard within it, and guitar marks points here and there and the hum grows louder, or at least seems to grow. It seems to rescind too, and it fades away, and the keys return.

The keys seem to stumble with a precision, and they search and look around and seemingly dance for a brief moment before they are rejoined by the percussion, bass and guitar. It is gentle and soon they find a rest. However, the rest lasts only for a brief moment and soon the sounds unleash.

Perhaps it would be more fare to say that the guitar unleashes and the others do become more energetic, but they keep things buoyed. They retain a calm and a peace. Those other strings return and move alongside it all, and soon everything seems to hit that right note, leaving the keys to go on. Everything keeps marking moments as the keys continue on, and they are calmly loud moments, and then it all dissipates and leaves a nakedness.

It is an innocence and it is in a vast idyllic scene. Strings draw on out, moving along the horizon and around the space and that innocence seems to smile. It’s all pleasant, and the sounds continue on gently before once more coming to rest, or at least most do as the keys continue on with something underscoring, and suddenly it all stops and the song ends.
