These ancient machines still whirred,
while I spoke in abandoned breaths.
Tired of fooling myself.

Lead up track:

My lungs dont really work well. This is comforting

LLAAPPSSEE responds:

This old building has still got some air.

I like the moody chords at the beginning and the distorted E-piano riffs starting at around :27. The heavy hats at :27 are great, and they flow really nicely into the crisp, acoustic beats throughout the rest of the piece. The lead-up to the melodies at 1:06 is just subtle enough to give the piece a real sense of release when 1:06 finally hits. The distorted breaks at 2:15 aren't quite my cup of tea - they clash a bit with the tranquil, languid vibe in the background at the same time. That said, the atmosphere, sound design, mixing, and arrangement are all really compelling here. Keep at it, LAPSE! ^_^

this song is absolutely fire

Stunning as always man, killing it. 👏

Lapse, are you lonely?

LLAAPPSSEE responds:

I live for solitude. The world humanity has created makes me upset. I know we can do better. We can be anything we want. This does not supply my isolationism. I've always been this way, since I can remember. Things have always been a bit wonky since I can remember though too... Perhaps nature/nurture problems. Even if things were better, I think I'd still enjoy solitude...er maybe that's just a lie I've been telling myself forever. (being a solo musician is lonely by nature - constantly seeking time for creation). Thank you for asking. I am simply sustained by the beast that is the interconnected world.
