okay so every time i listen to this song i think of an encounter between two people who have never met each other before. i think of love at first sight. and you know the part in this song where everything escalates, but then the sound gradually disappears? well it reminds me that it was just an encounter, a momentary thing. and their ways part again. and theyll never meet each other again; just an encounter.

I love how they use snippets of An Encounter throughout their tracks on the album. It just links the whole story this album is telling ❤️ Go back and listen to each track and you can hear bits of an encounter in each song. It's pure genius 😍

This song reminds of like walking past a girl and you both smile at each other then that's all she wrote. Nothing happens. Just An Encounter
Jesse Birsty
Every time I listen to this song I imagine myself somewhere and having an encounter with a girl and having a good feeling but as we create distance and walk away it slowly goes away and by the time I'm done I fall asleep idk why but I love it

Jesse Birsty Yeah. It's beautiful.

You're lying in bed. The light is shining through the thick, white curtains. The duvet is crumpled and smells of fresh air. You put your hand up to the window and let the light shine through your fingers. You turn around to go back to sleep. And there they are. The person that made you come and listen to this song. They're just lying there, hair falling over the soft sleeping face, small breaths escaping their mouth. You reach out, and push the hair out of their closed eyes. They wake, and look at you. Their eyes are sticky with tiredness. "I love you." they wisper, as their lips touch yours. The kiss takes you over. Pure happiness flows through your veins. The skin tingles on your back. Your heart beats fast, and you are trapped in this moment of a just a few seconds. That's where it takes me.

Actually have these moments in my life now, and I never thought I would. It IS possible. It WILL happen to you if you want it badly enough. NEVER give up hope.

plugged my headphones in and instantly noticed it compared to my pc speakers. Thanks for pointing that out

Why would you listen to music on something that doesn't give off bass frequencies in the first place?

Speakers without a subwoofer.

Puppy Cat with the Fuzzy Pants
The shortest minuet I've ever encountered. I wish this lasted longer, I feel like if they gave this small intro, sample, or whatever you'd call it a little more thought and time it would turn out really beautiful.
Kaylon
what what It has, despite its short time. Their newest album has nothing like this
ivelostmyhead
It's an "encounter." A brief meeting among two people hence the song's short & subtle length
Georgia Worswick
This is perfect ♥
Puppy Cat with the Fuzzy Pants
When I was first casually listening to this auto playlist, I flipped and had a mini heart attack and thought "OMG, I KNOW THIS." And then I realized it had some of the same instrumentals as Robbers. Oh my heart.... I got the feels.
Kaylon
what what It's the same arpeggio as in Robbers.

I can definately hear this song subtly in the background on the "you look so cool" part in robbers
Jonathan Moore
It honestly restores my faith in humanity that other people caught this.

And the intro to Robbers is at the beginning of it as well

Like imagine, you're at a party and you're laying against a wall with a drink in you're hand, alone and bored because assholes friends abandoned you, watching people getting drunk and dancing around until you see this particular person dancing in the crowd. The most beautiful person you ever laid eyes on, they noticed you and you guys both locked eyes within each other...while the whole world is in slow motion and colorful lights dance around in the background...

For everybody who says this sounds like robbers: that’s because it’s got the same key, same pace, and they used fragments of robbers in here. Try playing this after robbers and you’ll cry your eyes out. Love

YOU ARE MOST PERFECT BAND IN EXISTENCE. I SWEAR YOU ARE!

It's curious how your life can change completely one moment from another. How one minute you're fine and the next you're not, how everything happens so fast but so slowly at the same time. It makes you believe in destiny cause it's like every planet, every star and every part of the universe aligns and conspires by your side. Maybe just because a door was opened.

IN MY OPINION, I'm surprised this is the only band that is good to listen to for homework. And please don't give me your suggestions for "better" music. :)
