One listen.

Did much better than the last song of Mark Sparling’s I covered. I do feel that, perhaps, this does rely on just description too much, but I also think I got across a good idea of the song.

Mark Sparling’s “See You at the top” is from A Short Hike (Original Soundtrack), the soundtrack for A Short Hike. This is the Short Hike version of the song.

I hope you enjoy.

A rich rise of synth as other sound calmly flutters back and forth. More sound comes in, and it’s all spreading this rich sort of wonder. Eventually a thumping comes in and new sound flutters and flickers, and the thumping remains steady, and whilst firm, it doesn’t feel harsh.

The sounds that are there at this point come together in a harmony and playfulness, and they progress with a lightness in them, and perhaps a bit of a breeze too. It’s all easy stuff and it’s like adventure is guiding the way. Some more percussion comes in and soon the thumping stops, or rather changes a little, and it’s a peaceful moment.

The thumping resumes but fades out and the more recent percussion comes to the forefront. It seems the whole set is going to fade away, but sounds change direction to something a bit more relaxed; a bit more peaceful, gentle. A bit more smooth, and light, and dreamy. A bit more peaceful. The adventure relaxes.

Keys are more apparent at this point (if they are indeed keys) and they help build that relaxing calm, but soon everything begins to pick back up. The thumping returns, distant but present and the sounds build; some with a pitter-patter; others with a bit more of a firm step. They all hit their maximum point early and keep things light. They keep going, swaying with forward momentum, then pull back once more.

Keys take the focus and flow and flourish in breezy moments, and everything fades out as the song ends.
