Immensely soothing and transporting in its ability to elevate your mood, soothe your anger, and place you in a state of unrestrained and uninterrupted bliss, Sombertrap’s ‘The Distance (between Before and After)’ is an instrumental journey to behold. The classical composition has a certain tempo to it that gives it a flair and substance to latch on to. But its mood is decisively more morose, melancholic, and sombre. It echoes a deeply nostalgic sense of space and introspection, having you delve deeper into your own consciousness to understand the paths you’ve undertaken while contemplating the road that’s yet to be travelled.
Definitely, one of my favourite songs to hit play to and completely lose myself in the journey and experience of it all, ‘The Distance’ ranks as a top instrumental odyssey in 2022.
