    Greatness all around! I swear @ 2:34 it switched to an early 2000's Underoath feel in a split second for a few seconds. Brought back memories 😢, for almost 10 seconds of that clean beautiful sound, I remembered some of my greatest times in my life & then snapped back, sad at the fact that I'll be 35 & will never have that part of me back, but I will cherish what I have & what's to come. Truly, excellent work on this Nik.
