Feels like a calm before a storm, or a turning point in a story. Matches the tone of the scene described perfectly! Really obsessed with the familiar motifs and ways you're connecting songs in the same world. I loved Cloud Pop so the bells at 3:44 were particularly sweet. It was totally lost on me in the first listen that this melody is already present, just slowed/spaced out and reharmonized(?).

The contrast between low bass and hi bell sounds is very effective and I think evocative of clouds so apropos the title.
Great work again. Your story?

Lovely and cinematic. Transported me to a whole different world right away. great instruments and evolution. Really liking that gentle arp throughout. Gorgeous work

Very relaxing and serene. Perfectly matches the moment of calm in the story. Kind of reminds me of the Star Mountain from Paper Mario. Interested in where the story goes next, using RPG comparison I've mentioned for the last few weeks, it kind of feels like those moments in JRPGs where you beat the boss at the end of Disc 1 and then the boss actually ends up joining your party on the adventure and it's time to put in disc 2. (I'm picturing the story beats from Lost Odyssey as I describe this, haha). The timing works out too seeing how we're almost at the end of the first quarter!

Peaceful and trustworthy.

Very etherial.  I really like the harmonies in this, and how the pads all sit together, nudged forward with that lovely bell/celesta sound.

Such a lovely warm sound throughout with those lush choral pads and bell synth.  I really enjoyed those airy synths that come in around 1:30ish.  Like I'm floating above an island.  The main ostinato theme is so calming and soothing.  Excellent work!

thank you for this, thank you

Eerie yet comforting vibe. Lands in the middle of those two really well

For sure. And thank you!

You got it! It’s fun finding new uses for old thematic material. (And, to be honest, in a pinch it can be really helpful for finishing a track under time pressure. I’m trying not to use that as a crutch too much though!)

Thanks so much! And yeah, the story is my own. It’s been fun trying to tell one with music, and I’m hoping I can make it to the end of the year and finish the tale.

Thank you!

Hehe, good point - we did just reach the end of the first quarter of WB. Thanks so much for listening. I appreciate the feedback, and the Lost Odyssey shoutout makes me really happy!

Thanks! The title and the track refer to a previous WB submission from the beginning of the year. Seemed like an appropriate time for a callback.

Much appreciated!

Thanks! I was hoping I’d get the blend right with this one.

Why thank you!

You’re most welcome, kind friend. And thank you in return!

It’s an emotional space I’m very fond of when it comes to music, so I’m very happy to hear that. Thank you!
