One listen and this one was a bit of a struggle.
I was thinking too much about trying to write in a way that would draw something out of the sounds rather than just doing that and so I feel I didn’t cover the song well enough.
猫 シ Corp. & t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者’s “Hiraeth V” is from Building a Better World.
I hope you enjoy.

A drop spreads out in smooth ripples as a voice echoes and dissipates. A sense of beauty arises as a reflection of the ripples as they move out as one. Sound layering and rising from, slowly shifting, rising, falling… breathing, almost.
The rain falls and sounds settle, and something draws out that isn’t present in the sounds; a sense of the heavy as whispers of the melancholic. It’s not wrapping around everything, but it is there as the slow dance proceeds.
Sound holds and draws long, and there is a space, and perhaps too much, or not enough, or just the right amount, and everything looks for something not there. Everything is reaching out for something it cannot grab and touch. They are spatially detached from where they to be and they fill what they can, but the space retains an emptiness.
The sounds keep going; they remain gentle; they continue as smooth ripples, and they fade, leaving the rain alone as the song ends.
