"There's a certain beauty to this song. While is does get creepier halfway through, the first half almost feels wholesome and innocent. While other songs involve a lot of families killing each other, this one involves family staying together. Holding hands, praying for the return of Summer."
Figured it fit the theme.
Also, what a weird genre. Not hating, it's just really out there in my opinion, and I listen to a vast range of music.
