This is so soothing. I see that other comments are saying haunting, so I hesitate at what this might say about me haha. But I like this, and would love to hear more.❤️

thank you! I write for it to be soothing but it always has a little edge of something else darker i guess.

That was very good, very haunting in a way. The scratchiness in the background complemented well. At one point apparently the closed captioning decided it heard the words thank you and flashed them up at the bottom of the screen. Or maybe that wad there, and it was me who couldn't make it out. I love that bit of ambiguity.

i'm glad you liked it! yes all my music has a certain haunting undercurrent to it even if i try to make a bit more upbeat. I had to check out what you meant about the CC, i'm astonished! ghost in the shell! :P

Which leads us to wonder, who is thanking you and for what? (queue dramatic music)

Well played!

I will resort to paradox: It's you thanking me for noticing the subliminal 'thank you' in the track.

It's probably very sensitive to background noise, since it's (probably) the AI finding a pattern that just barely matches. So, the AC or whatever in the background might thwart that.

No, wait. That makes no sense. Our background noise shouldn't affect that. Duh. Sorry. Well. I dunno. Update to the speech to text engine? The entity that inserted the 'thank you' gaslighting us? Shared hallucination?
