Entry 419 - Glacis - The World is a Little Lonlier Without You

 

I wake up in a place I do not recall. Everything feels so familiar but I have never been here before. A singular path lay ahead of me, it is shrouded in darkness and obscured by many obstacles. It is the only way that I can go.

As I traverse down this path the air gets heavier and it's harder to move. Something drives me forward though, maybe it's the thought of you. Whoever you are.

A piano plays in the distance, obscured by noise and regrets. I can't pinpoint its location but it seems like it is calling to me. Someone or something is becoming me towards it, welcoming me into this deep darkness with it.

The further I traverse the more obscured my vision becomes. The only thing driving me forward is this distant music. It is now all encompassing, it is everything to me.


As dramatic as all that sounds that is exactly my experience listening to The World is a Little Lonelier Without You. It's essentially an ambient driven piano concerto. The piano drives the music but it is not the only element. The ambient moments intertwine with the piano and create an atmosphere so complete that it feels like something is missing when the music stops.

Glacis has created an incredible bit of neo-classical ambient music with The World is a Little Lonelier Without You. I feel very fortunate that I have added this art to my collection.
