Long Forgotten by flyingfish
Starting the song with a captivating electric guitar and then into collapsing drums, the listener is drawn in immediately. The song itself lacks having many lyrics– which are themselves poetically harrowing– but the instrumental elements shine brightly and speak for themselves. The strong electric guitar tells its own story filled with emotion while simultaneously overriding the very softly sung vocals, “As she’s long forgotten, her heart echoes throughout the clouds.”
