That's the great thing about instrumental tracks -- they're completely open to the listener's interpretation. I like what you came up with, shows me the track in a new light. For me, the track tells a different story: that feeling of following a path with conviction only to realize much later that it was the wrong path. So not catastrophic on a grand scale, but in a more personally devastating way. Musically, to me the track starts with a hopeful excitement, but the mood gradually gets tenser and darker, with little hints of doubt starting to creep in more and more, slowly edging out the positive. And when the bright glockenspiel of the opening returns, to me that signifies the moment of false hope where you think you can shake off the doubt. But the doubt never fully leaves, until ultimately the it just turns into full-on dread when those strings enter after the bass fill, the moment they finally understand they were wrong and can't hide from that anymore. That feeling always makes me tear up at that string part, too. So good. Anyway, glad you enjoyed it! Highly recommend checking the whole album out, plenty of tastiness to go around, even without Sandbox Percussion.

Ooooo, I like your interpretation! The false hope overlaid on doubt is a perfect read on that mid point.
