@Aarian Vermey Why don't you look it up? In fact, I'm curious as well, so I'm going to look it up.

[@maddscraft5459]

@Aarian Vermey Thanks, but already looked it up like I said I was going to.

[@snail8148]

aaaaa solar waltz is my absolute FAVORITE on the album!!

[@apotofpie1403]

honestly i love the instrumentals because instead of showing the meaning of the original songs it opens up a play field for your imagination. love your music

[@saracole7623]

Feels like if Mr. B’s mouse circus from the movie Coraline was in a submarine. I love how it gives off an oceanic yet renaissance feel.

[@lord_ozymandias]

I myself think of a masquerade ball in the medieval times

I imagined a drought season in a place where the sun never set past the horizon. A place where seasons were different.

[@DeathbyProxy]

I’ve cried over this song before. I’ve cried over so many of your songs. They’re all so beautiful but this one in particular has an heir of melancholy to it. Beautiful, but so sad.

[@gonher59]

Dear Cosmo: This has been my favorite song in the world since I discovered your music about one year ago. Right now I am hospitalized, and listening to this has brought me so much happiness and peace. I know we do not know each other and maybe we never will, but I think of each of your songs as a very special gift from someone who I really admire. Thank you so much for being who you are. Your music is sublime. You are helping me and we are not even in the same continent.

A character was on his way to have a very important confrontation with a future romantic interest, a little while after they got into a bad disagreement and turned the cold shoulder on eachother. 0:51 is where their dialogue begins. One of them cracks a joke at 1:13, introducing a bond filled with some sort of passionate tension. Love interest continues talking, perhaps of some past personal matters that leave the protagonist silent with either shock or intrigue. 1:35, love interest makes one final remark before exiting, and our protagonist is still wordless. From then on, he can't help but notice love interest more and more, until 2:33, at which point he's lying awake one night, his mind festering with thoughts of love interest. At 2:57, he decides he can no longer suffer in silence, he must shoot his shot, or at least try to catch love interest's attention - a task he will begin carrying out at 3:23. Love interest offers in response only side-glances or small, acknowledging smiles - not the fond kind though. No, they're more smug if anything. The bastard. 3:49, they wind up alone together in a room, keeping to themselves, doing some mundane task. But they accidentally make some sort of physical contact at 4:12, such as the brush of a hand or a bumping of their backsides. Love interest cracks another one of their mood-lightening little jokes at 4:14. By 4:40, they've made it abundantly clear the feelings are mutual. Their newfound romantic partnership is an adventurous one, something our protagonist isn't quite accustomed to. But despite their vast differences, their intense affection for eachother is totally identical. Some nights, they lie on the soft grass outside the palace, gazing up at the moonlight. By 5:22, our protagonist has fallen asleep, and our sharp-witted, headstrong love interest looks down at his face with a smile. This time, however, it is the fond kind.

Solar Waltz is AMAZING music for mountain exploration, I swear. It gives me "craning your neck upwards to look at a behemoth" vibes.

[@LittleGhostCat]

Well, time she did as time she does She passed along her way And dawn, she crept like a frightened girl Out from the nighttime's sway But in the merry month of May Her solemn fast does learn For spring, it sprung as spring it does And put the bees to work And work they must and work they shall For all the things to grow For if they don't, as time she knows They'd wither on the bough And what a shame such things would be No wondrous wine for you and me No cider too, nor mead nor soup For us to all make merry So rot, ferment, and decompose So all the things can grow Oh wallow in the drinkless world And wither on the bough Oh what a dusty burden That nectar and the pollen Like Atlas with the heavens On the back of his head And what if they should falter And shrug their little shoulders Well, time, she'd pass all the same

[@ct_devoid]

It's like journeying through the city of my dreams. Fascinating and wondrous with lights dancing about. A world of spectacular color surrounded by a gloom just at the very edges.

[@adomlee5969]

Thanks for the instrumental versions, Cosmo. I just bought this regular track 10 minutes ago for my current wake-up alarm. Sorry we'll miss you in Chicago. 😕

Lyrics ^^ Well, time she did as time she does She passed along her way And dawn, she crept like a frightened girl Out from the nighttime's sway But in the merry month of May Her solemn fast does learn For spring, it sprung as spring it does And put the bees to work And work they must and work they shall For all the things to grow For if they don't, as time she knows They'd wither on the bough And what a shame such things would be No wondrous wine for you and me No cider too, nor mead nor soup For us to all make merry So rot, ferment, and decompose So all the things can grow Oh wallow…

I am hearing this right now on TV my mother is looking at a recorded TV show where they just peek into the lives of regular people here (Belgium) and this lady is telling about the chapel she takes care off very nice to hear my favourite song on TV

Listening to this and warming up with some hot chocolate while my ears defrost. So relaxing...

[@lunamenguante7908]

How could you dislike this? This is pure art!

[@BAMWB]

This whole instrumental playlist is so, so lovely. I can't think of a word that suits it better - it's lovely, in every sense of the word. I adore how each of these tracks opens up my imagination in a different way. I'm planning on using this specific track as ambiance for a D&D campaign - there's an eldritch sun god, one who giggles at mortal plights and floats, half-aware and dreamy, above the world. This piece is perfect for the whole setting, especially 4:41. Such a regal, ethereal, surreal sound. In addition, this piece - this whole album, really - reminds me a lot of Alice In Wonderland. Amazing music.

[@louisepatricia6539]

Thank you so much for bringing back my creativity to draw again!! Just loved how KZbin showed up your channel to me like "hey, wanna go to another world?" You're fantastic 😊❣️

This instrumental version sounds like it could be from a video game. I can imagine it playing in the background as the character continues on their quest.

[@creeperface4675]

What I hear on this instrumental: -find a strange hedge maze with pink and red flowers -explore said hedge maze -get lost after some time -strange fog engulfs you -get lost even more -fog clears -*you find yourself in a strange world* -everything looks… like an old classical/victorian garden but it looks brand new -it’s… peaceful too, very serene -“*it’s not that bad here, actually*” -wander this maze with bliss and enjoyment for an unknown amount of time I love the end and the beginning trumpet bc it gives a vibe of mystery, like a maze
