Really nice approach. I can image an REM style of soundscape, the song both floating and pulsing.

This works as a reflective power pop song. I can relate to the situation of wondering what happened and at the same time trying to fit a story to it.

Halfway to the end is indeed halfway from the start, although Zeno might paradoxically disagree. Very listenable, and I'm super-impressed you could pull this together so well in skirmish-time. Love the vocals and instrumentation.

Seems to sound sweet, nice listen. A little meta but also works outside of that.
