The first half is what I enjoyed the most here and I would have liked to hear you develop that a bit more. Just a minute and a half? Awww. I wouldn't have used mundane or depressing to describe it either, but the idea of making something a means for an escape away from what you would describe is interesting to me. Though, I would have liked more of a journey between the two, I still enjoyed it. Since you’re an optimist, how about a month of you experimenting with more darker sounds or being more sorrowful in your compositions?
