Home: Decay

One listen.

Just went into it, wrote, came out. It’s getting easier, writing. It’s coming back a bit. That’s good. I think that’s reflected here. Short sentences.

Anyway, I think this works for the song. Not sure if it represents the song well enough, but I think it works.

HOME’s “Decay” is from Odyssey.
I hope you enjoy.

Synth stabs fading out and into the next, and soon more cries out shining. A bassy line comes in, creating a rhythmic counterpoint, and it’s not long before the beat comes in, strident, striking.

It’s all steady and the new sounds come in, carry a sadness. They wring out emotion from themselves and from the moment; they travel onward along a long road, and they find a little quiet. Or rather, a diminishing.

It’s a pause for thought, a pause for change. There’s space and synth moves in alternating forms whilst the melody remains the same. The flow remains the same and sound moves rapidly, reaching out above, looking down below, and driving ever forward.

Sounds come back and the moment is widened. There’s turmoil, perhaps. Despair, sadness… plenty of things. But things continue on.

It’s lament. It’s a lamentation, and maybe a letting go. A letting go, despite not wanting to. Having to let go of something falling apart, even as the song ends.
