One listen and I’m fairly certain that parts of this song were easier to write about than others. I think it’s due to how it flows and how it makes use of samples, particularly the bagpipes. Anyway, I think I covered the song well enough. Probably could’ve written more about it being a somewhat upbeat, celebratory piece, or at least coming off that way.

Quruli’s (くるり) Mind the Gap (“静かの海”) is from The World is Mine.

I hope you enjoy.

Everything comes in; beat, bagpipes and other assorted samples. A voice saying “Mind the Gap”, then another that’s difficult to catch. A shift and the bagpipes continue with something a little different. The beat comes back in full and the bagpipes shift once more.

Everything is a steady procession, cut into slices and coming in where they fit. Seemingly filling out the space is, and seemingly calling for celebration, or procession. And it all seems to stretch into an eternity whilst the sounds of a busy space come in.

Everything changes and everything becomes more cut up in a sense, and everything seems to speak more of the train station. It moves more and more to that and seems more and more split into pieces, and then the bagpipes return and the piece continues as roughly close to how to it started.

And the beat drops away and bagpipes are left, fading away in what feels more and more a celebration of the train station, or station attendants. Fading away as the song ends.
