Listen to this riff (and the full demo) on Spotify!! open.spotify.c... Tabs are here if you're keen to try it - bit.ly/4a5Z5oP A short peaceful riff... nice and relaxing I hope. I love catching public transport real late at night
I’m a band kid (electric bass) + a senior in hs next year and this sounds exactly like what I was feeling on the bus ride home from our end-of-year trip to a fun place recently (laser tag, go carts, arcade games, etc). Our director brought his kids along and one of them (whom I spoiled and rode go carts with) was sat next to me keeping herself entertained with some games on my phone. It was around 9-10 at night and I was dead tired, but that good kind of tired when you know you had a good day/spent the day right. I watched the sunset in and out of dozing off with the bus motor and the chatter of my friends in the background, knowing I’ll only have one more experience like this at the end of next year. Didn’t expect to be telling a whole story in this comment section but I know the people who clicked on this video are the kind of people who will appreciate it.
I just graduated from hs a week ago. It was really touching to read your story and i knew exactly how you felt. It was light and peaceful in its own way. You seem like a really thoughtful kid :)) hope you have the most memorable senior year with many memories like this. Savor it and good luck :] also thank you for this. I really appreciated and needed it.
I was only speaking earlier about when I'd take a sunset bus, only me and the driver, 30 minute ride away from the abusive relationship i was in. It was the best bus rides ever, and you encapsulated it perfectly. Hats off my dude, keep on playing.
Sincerely hope you’re able to find yourself in a better situation - I’m sorry to hear that. Glad you found joy in that bus ride and thank you for the kind words ☺️
@@DubbyMusic. Thankyou much, and dont be sorry at all! I'm in a much better place, just the title of your art making me reminisce on the sunlight times during the hell is proof. I like to be reminded how much better I'm doing with pieces like this, thankyou so much :)
Perfect. Feels exactly like the hour and a half two-bus journey back home from seeing my best friend in the depths of winter after school. Nothing but happiness and quiet reflection.
I'm a senior in high school. At the beginning of the year, I didn't have friends to walk home with because I was new, In the autmn, at 5pm, I would buy hot pastries and walk home with calm steps while watching the kids and the cats everywhere, on those days when I didn't listen to music, it felt exactly like this music.. now I know a lot of people i walk home with, but my feeling when I was walking alone was different like.. Idk confortable. Now my year is over, my graduation exam is in a two weeks, and I won't be just a teenager after that..
god this is so accurate, i can feel it. its so beautiful. i love bus rides, i love looking out the window when its sunny and when its late at night and staring out at the city lights
Thank you for your kind words 😊 And yes you’re absolutely right - it’s just something about being on a bus that takes you to a whole different headspace
this tells the story of taking the late bus home after another long and beautiful hangout with your friends and that one person among them you're criminally infatuated with but don't have the courage to say anything about it.
this reminds me of a time in my life i so conveniently forgot bc it was so traumatic, the only memory i cherish from those times is late night six hour bus rides from the hospital to home with my mother as a teen, every week. truly encapsulates that time period in my mind. bravo!!
Hearing this, I feel like having a monologue about missing what it's like to be young riding home from school with family waiting for me. Then, coming home now, I have no one waiting for me. Cut to a shot of me looking out the window, illuminated by the streetlights rolling past me, revealing that I'm also alone on the bus.
Reminds me of this one time I was returning from the mall and it was snowing outside everything felt so pretty I wanted that night to last a bit more because I wasn’t sure if tmrw was gonna be as pretty
Beautifulll!! it gives me a bittersweet kind of feeling. Feeling the profoundness of life, feeling kind of sad but content at the same time if that makes sense
Yeah that makes perfect sense!! Like you have no obvious reason to feel sad but just thinking about life broadly brings on that sort of unique melancholy
You’re work is actually so beautiful this song made me start crying. I also compose, mostly for piano, but hearing your work on guitar has inspired to play mine more, as it just sounds like no other instrument. I see the midwest emo and mathrock influences in your style of writing yet it still stands out as incredibly unique and personal. Please keep playing from the soul and never lose your spark!
You have no idea how incredible this is to hear 🥲 Thanks so much for the kindness. Likewise to you - keep writing and making music that matters to you!!
Damn a lot of people are saying this sounds like Life is Strange I’ve never actually played it but it’s always been in my Steam library. Is it worth playing?
