Morose violin and piano playing take the listener on a journey, one that elicits a sense of loneliness and the absence of friendship, companionship, and camaraderie. This could be an excellent backdrop to witnessing a lone wanderer, hearing the story of one’s past, or the unfortunate goodbye of a cherished friend who needs to leave on a trying expedition… alone. After some minutes, the song switches moods and possesses something a little more upbeat, though it never quite drops that feeling of solitude. Still, there is some wonder to it now, maybe an acceptance of one’s fate—and a notion of adventure.
