[@Croissantcreep]

I like how To The Other Side has some sense of hope and justice, as well as several happy tones. However, Adrift feels more like a distant dream amidst the dangers of time within a time-stuck abyss. I love how this still has some melodies played throughout, but it feels more like clutching onto a lost memory before it leaves. Is there a possible story being tied together?

[@Someoneextra]

Is there a theory or should I say lore

[@Toast4.5]

I think if there was a story, its about growing up because life becomes less happy then when you where a kid, this phenomenon is something everyone has.(so basically we are becoming a teenager now)

[@qumumusic]

I won't be giving too much away, but I will say that I'm really glad you could hear that vibe and felt that way about the melody

QUMU LORE QUMU LORE

[@NeonLightsYT1]

This is so mysterious. It’s almost like being trapped or floating in an endless void… Wait- This is amazing, Qumu!

[@qumumusic]

Thanks, means a lot to me that my intention came through in the music ^^

[@MrHappy-dy1wp]

I like how the bubble “drifts”. Nice touch!

[@qumumusic]

Thanks, glad you liked it ^^

bruh

[@QueenOfStyx]

Me and my friend are both fans so we eagerly wait for thursdays, counting down the days. Getting a message from him out of nowhere telling me a new Qumu song dropped is not unusual, but an original? That is some big news. Now I just have to respond to him with how good this Qumu song is, because every one is at least good.

[@qumumusic]

Naw, that's so sweet!! Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it

[@Red-rq6sn]

Hello It is I that Friend

[@kandiemeow]

[@jasperwoolsey8692]

I love the deformation of that circle. And how the song starts of simple and slowly grows more complicated. It's like a art piece of represented through music. I listen to this channel because it was always a fun and joyful channel. And I'm glad they seem to be making songs with deeper meaning. I've always been a big fan and I've always cared for a lot of songs on this channel. Thank you for being here all these years to help me cope with life and it's stresses.

[@qumumusic]

It honestly means so much to me to hear you say that ^//^ I generally do my best to put genuine emotions into most remixes/covers I make, but I almost literally pour myself and my emotions into my originals, so I'm really glad it comes through ;o; Thank you so much for listening, and for caring. I hope I can keep the music coming and that the music will keep giving you joy, or whatever want you want from it ^//^

[@ultrasblade]

Its always great to hear an original Qumu song!

[@qumumusic]

Glad to hear that

[@Angry_Jetpack]

…damn. This hits hard. Not only with the bass, but with it’s atmosphere. I truly do feel adrift. This is just a true masterpiece. I don’t have much else to say. Just… damn.

[@kleingrrmpf]

Another original?! Let's gooo!! Damn, when the lead line set in, I was surprised, but it sounds so good. Chill but still exciting with that lead melody. And in the second part I can clearly hear the relation to your other more recent originals. It sounds amazing!

[@qumumusic]

Awyeah ;D I'm so glad to hear that ^//^ Glad you can hear the connection to the other originals, and I'm so happy you liked it

[@lordtimberstone]

Hey I’m not sure if you’ll see this Qumu, but I though I should let you know that this track was my most listened to this year. I listened to it 177 times, and I would listen to it 100 times more. I absolutely adore this one, and it really helped me through some difficult times. I even made the cover art my profile pic for a while, just so others would listen. Hands down an amazing track, I love it love it love it. You should be so proud, and I love your original pieces so much! I wish you the best moving forward, and I can’t wait to see what you make next! 💜💜💜

[@DarkEssence66]

Lost in thought, as the days start to merge together in an almost too similar cycle. Starting to lose yourself, yet you march on as a small amount of hope drags you along.

This gives chill, curious, and fearful vibes all at once. I love it.

I ABSOLUTELY love this song. By far one of my favorites. I dont know why but your music just helps me with stress and everyday life problems. Don't stop making music. I love the melody of all your songs. Keep it up

It truly warms my heart to hear that, thanks for letting me know ^//^ Thank you! I'll do my best to keep the music flowing c:

Even though I have no idea what'd happening lore-wise, I still greatly appreciate all your work and original songs as pure musical pieces of excellence.

We gotta get a full Netflix animated series starring Qu and Myu.

[@LanfyLive]

This is giving me serious chills. Those original songs are always so f**ng good! Please keep going with those Qumu

[@EmotreX]

The music, the visuals... everything's flawless

[@qumumusic]

You're absolutely too kind ^//^

[@abike5395]

I love this so much. The part at 0:38-0:43 where the timing is slightly different than in your other recent originals really adds to the uncomfortable feeling and immediately got me invested in this song.

[@qumumusic]

I'm really glad to hear you say that ^^ It was meant to be uncomfortable/unsettling, so I'm glad you got that feeling c:

[@Wyadox]

Qumu, please calm down. You’re making so many ABSOLUTE BANGERS that my music playlist is overflowing!!!

[@qumumusic]

You're absolutely too kind ^//^ and I won't stop!!! I'll never stop!!!! >:O

[@aidenbradshaw8911]

All of your originals slap, but this… Damn. The feeling of drifting off onto an abyss, trying to hold on to something but always coming back to the same-old nothing, it just hits different. Absolutely love it!

I've been feeling really stressed and overwhelmed by everything for very little apparent reason for the past couple of weeks and I keep forgetting to listen to this. Thank you Qumu, this is making me feel so much better.

Another great song by Qumu! Love that atmosphere in this song.

[@qumumusic]

Thank you so much!! Really glad to hear that ^^

[@TheLetsGamer7]

Qumu did their part to give us all this gift, and as the music pierces my heart, I feel a solemn calmness as I read "Adrift".

[@koala7427]

Qumu! Your originals are always filled with so much passion and uniqueness! I'm not sure how you can consistently make bagers like this. Keep it up!

[@mrcamo5110]

Qumu the absolute god has done it again. Great as always.

[@ILikesKarz]

Your remixes are very good, but i always love when you put out an original song. The anteater is actually still one of my favorite songs ever, so please keep making more of these theyre amazing

[@Revermb]

YESSS new qumu original AND in probably one of my favorite chords I Really enjoy the slow tempo you chose for this piece, fits well with the minimalistic instruments which then fit in very well with your other originals I really don't have anything else to say about it. The tempo, chord and instruments all fit amazingly well together. great job (Edit: just fixed some writing errors)

[@comet.x]

I feel like this is the music for being stuck in the endless void of space. Life support works, but you're stuck, the cosmos floating around you. All the stars and planets look so huge and pretty, yet so far, and you'll never be able to reach any of them. only imagine their glory

[@FreSch_Dude]

1 additional week of waiting was quite hard for me, glad it was worth it :) Thanks for the original Qumu!

[@Justsomedudeokay]

What a track! You're so talented, and your work will be appreciated in years to come, I'm sure of it.

KZbin notifications are stupid so I didn't realize this came out until I got the spotify notification. Great song as always, cool that we get a new original again. More lore is always fun.

[@testsubjection8448]

Absolutely nailed the atmosphere with this one!

[@qumumusic]

Thank you, I'm sincerely glad to hear that ^^

[@Equalyze]

The instrumentation here is a genuinely unique and precise combination of sounds I've not heard otherwise. And the generous and creative use of auxiliary percussion is nothing short of incredible! Truly, a wonderful listening experience. Also, Qumu, thank you for taking the time to respond individually and personally to each comment. The fact that you take the time and put forth the effort to do that - when few other channels of your size (or far smaller than, even) do - is so heartwarming to see. :D

[@qumumusic]

I'm so glad to hear you say that, thank you so, so very much for that ^//^ It's sadly not possible to get around to everyone nowadays... Just too many for me to physically be able to get around to ^^; I try my best to get around to as many as possible though :o

[@Arceus086]

This song really has the feeling of being adrift and lost in life, everything feels hazy, there's no clear way to take and even when stopping and trying to get your bearings straight something comes up and forces you to keep going even if you don't know where. The last few years I've been very familiar with this feeling as I've graduated high school and tried to get help with my mental problems as well as transitioning. But all of those things cost money and working isn't really something I feel like I'm capable of at this moment, so I've been adrift, trying to do a little at a time. Currently I work maybe once a week for my dad's company and do some random work, although it has been tough since I don't have a good relationship with my family it has been a way to earn some money to get some real help, I've also started talking with my transition team again as here in Sweden you need to be diagnosed with gender dysphoria before you're allowed to have any sort of gender affirming procedures or medications. Things are looking up even if it feels rather difficult right now and if anyone reads this I want you to know that even if it feels really thought and it doesn't look like there's any way out don't give up, things will get better.

[@qumumusic]

I'm glad the feeling came across It's not a feeling I wish for people to experience first hand, and I'm sorry things have been like this for you. I'm happy that you've managed to get some work (even if it may not be under the most ideal circumstances) and that you've started talking with your transition team again. Getting things moving is a good way to keep motivation up. I hope things get better for you and that you're able to take charge of your situation in time. Good luck, and I hope you find euphoria I also hope you know that it's nice seeing you around, and that I truly and honestly wish you all the best

[@kaitlyn__L]

Ah these chords are great! I’m humming/singing along, sometimes arpeggiating them. I love this kind of slow buildup on a single “scaffolding” (as it were).

[@qumumusic]

Thanks, I'm really glad to hear that Awesome! I deliberately tried to build the song around a single "scaffolding" to emphasise the feeling of being "adrift". Just a chord progression that loops, folds and wraps around itself in different ways, so I'm glad you enjoy the concept

[@Fisher-.-]

This is beautiful! To the other side and adrift show a feeling of being trapped in different ways. This is amazing Qumu!

[@qumumusic]

Thank you so much, I'm glad you feel that way about them, considering how deeply connected the two are ^^ Thanks again!!

[@disdonut]

From the moment this song started, I found humming a melody in harmony. This song just hit different.

[@qumumusic]

Thank you!! I tried to do something different and I'm glad you liked it ^//^

[@weedxat]

I like that at the end of To The Other Side, there seemed to be some sort of connection that was established until it gets cut off, then the song gets more intense as they both try in vain to fix their communicators. Adrift feels like the aftermath of that

[@thunder_vtuber]

Absolutely lovely. Not the typical upbeat remixes and originals, but it's nice to see the shift in emotions, especially after what happened in To The Other Side. I'm excited to see where this goes!

[@qumumusic]

[@kikakoa]

Beatiful music as always, Qumu! Originals are always welcome, I love the more melancholic feel in the song; it is really different from your past originals. I also like how it evolves through the song and kind of becomes more complex as time goes on. Please, keep doing originals! They are always a pleasure to hear!

I absolutely love this! Browsing the comments I see I am not exactly up to date on the lore, but I’ve been listening to your stuff for a while. Almost exclusively on Spotify however, so after hearing this piece I decided to visit your creator page. I’ve enjoyed your music on and off for a few years now, enjoying tracks such as your Luigi’s mansion and terraria remixes, but I have never been disappointed by your work. I hope that you keep this up, and I absolutely love your newer original pieces. You’re amazing, and I hope to hear more from you. Keep it up!!
