My Nostalgia is Broken

I either had a very productive week or an unproductive one, depending on how you look at it. I started three songs. I like them all and plan to complete them. However, at the end of the week, none of them were finished >_<
So here's the most complete one! Sunday afternoon I rather hastily recorded some guitar parts for this, so apologies for the wonky one-take improvised guitar solo-- there's a key change-y bit, and it was kind of dodgy to play over without practice, since I'm not a particularly technical guitar player.
The idea with this track was to take a sweet, nostalgic sort of melody and have the composition sort of wheel off into stranger territory before at last returning to the saccharine bit. I didn't get so far as to write the second half and the return, so it's a bit... I think you'll get the idea though.
I will say, I'm pleased with the bass in the second half. Hand-drawn saw + detuned narrow pulse one octave above. LSDJ can put out some really cool bass if you give it the space to do so.
