October 17, 2024, the date Tell Your Tale released its final episode. In commemoration of memories and friends made along the way, EveryDayDashie released this special, special tune.
The opening of this orchestral number feels like a walk through a hall of heroes. Amongst the first soft but gradual increase of the reeling flutes, the brass comes in, A grand, regal door opening onto a pantheon of memories, bold and sweet, yet also somber. There is this pinch of sorrow, this pinch of lemon or salt keeping the themes in one’s mind. All through this, there is an alternation of these swelling reels and softer interludes of the themes, the somber bits laced all through-out in surprising places.
Until suddenly, with this grand swell, we find ourselves in a quiet meadow. There is still a drive, but it is quieter now… gradually it rises, and again regal reals with a pantheonic quality and hint of sorrow, before we find ourselves in a playful forest village jaunt, which climaxes into being more regal than the song has yet been, into a true anthem. This subsides, for only long enough for us to be surprised by its truly awe-inspiring and triumphant return.
This is a truly wonderful work and deserves a full listen, so make sure to send EveryDayDashie your love.
