oof. made it with only three minutes to spare. In retrospect the mix is a bit too quiet, sorry about that!
Honestly keeping up with WB is getting really tough but I reaallly wanted to make it to at least week 26. Just one more!
Made on M8, most of it synth engines, with a roland S-1 as guest for a couple of synth parts.

It is a bit quiet, but not a big deal! We're not at war for loudness here. I like the dreamy board-of-canadesque structure of it. A very pleasant listen!
Quite pretty. Maybe it's quiet, can't quite tell, but it fits the mood.

This is beautiful.
Thank you!

Thank you! Yeah, I guess that's what the volume controls are there for 
so I started listening to this and then realized my SSL certificate expired on my server, so I went to fix that and I was in the flow and doing my thing and then the song suddenly stop and I was like "hey where did the cool music go?!"
This sounds like a misty evening rooftop jam with close friends, thick coffee, and whatever instruments happen to be to hand. It's like a warm cloud of calm. It sounds so effortless that it gives the impression of being found instead of deliberately written - and that is NOT easy!
Such a lovely calm place to land. Saw some discussion recently on the regional differences in calling them lightning bug vs firefly.
Either way, I love them and love this track.
