It hits when you realize all the moments in your life have led you to this point. This exact point of listening to this exact song. The song that doesn’t say a word yet says more anyone could to describe the experience you get from it because there isn’t a single world or phrase. It’s the accumulation of your life and the person next to you and the person the other room and the person halfway across the world. All the moments good and bad, highs and lows brought and lay down in front of your eyes so you understand the essence of life.

[@galleryboy4a]

For the ones that came back to this still in 2020 or later years. (in my opinion) this song literally depicts the love that Yvette and Sander (San holo) had. The moment Sander came into the shot the green screen images became blooming flowers meaning the blossoming of their relationship (yes they had a relationship) Sadly people come and go so this isn't the case anymore. San holo also made a song about love later on called "Love wip" (wip is edm language for work in progress) in which you can hear a clip of Yvette talking about love. On San holo's album 1 commentary album you can hear him talk about the meaning of that song and with the information I just gave you, this clip of him talking about it makes it a lot more understandable. Have a nice day and let's spread some love during these hard Covid-19 infected times.

[@MrLioncash]

Complexity is a river of simple things.

[@mikeshaver-miller745]

It really depends on your approach to music in general, honestly. Some people like to hear it out loud, and piece it together. Some still like to figure out a few different ideas on paper and work out the connections later. If you really want to make good math rock (or any sort of progressive music) I think learning more about music theory is the first step. Having examples to work off of is another good step. I’d look at Schism or Lateralus by Tool if you want to hear some more solid examples of using advanced rhythm to communicate ideas. Another elementary example is “My Curse”, by Killswitch Engage. It has a pretty easy to digest time signature switch that can help you take the first steps to writing your own music with time signature changes.
