Track description

The track consists of a plodding, rhythmic piano phrase which is expanded and iterated upon over the course of the song through additional piano notes, but never strays from initially-outlined melody. Faint string chords begin around the 2:00 mark and increase in volume until the 3:00 mark, where they fade out. The underlying chord progression from the beginning of the song then comes into focus until the end of the piece.
