This was meant be uploaded when AXOLOTL hit 100k but it ALL HAPPENED SO FAST. It has been utterly amazing seeing the response to this song -- it was nothing I was expecting in the slightest!!! I am so grateful to be apart of such an amazing community with people kind enough to pick apart and analyze the greater story of what I make. And MAN I can't wait to make more for us!
You might also notice some things in this instrumental that weren't kept in the actual song. I thought it would be fun to include some scrapped bits, for example, the lower tones of the music box segment, so don't be confused if there's something that feels Off about this. I mean. Unless there's something else that's off……
In celebration of this song's success, I have one other video planned before I'm full-speed ahead with second song of i, the gold! It's gonna take me a minute, won't be a terribly long video, but it will still definitely be fun :) Anyway. Is it just me or does gravity feel lighter...
