В этом мире есть красота. В данном случае - это красота звука.
Janmeeba
I really like the part that starts at 6:10(i mean, okay, there are sounds leading to it before that timestamp but the sounds i like start here), there's this shorter lower frequency "growl" and the longer higher frequency sound. The longer sounds like its mourning over something, the shorter sounds very pained.
Some kind of mental image the "dialogue" of these two "voices" caused in my mind was that the longer sound could be a human watching the world burn around them, and the shorter is maybe a bear crying because it knows they have arrived in some kind of point of no return despite not sharing a common language or even their living habitats.
Yeah, a very subjective intrepretation, i know. :P And i don't even live in a part of the world where such changes would show such intensively. At least not yet, probably my part of the planet will start seeing things happen eventually too, at this rate. But yeah i could imagine that mental scene being possible to happen somewhere else already(just need a forest where there are bears living, some people living nearby, and a forest fire. And one bear should be like sitting next to this observing nature loving human for some reason, outside the forest. Anyways, i should stop writing before this gets too sad, maybe it already did. :P)
Oh and yeah, my comment was about that specific part but i like the whole song of course! :D Thanks to the friend who told me about this song/shared the link.
