Song DNA
About as calm as music gets here. The track rises and falls a fair amount with no sudden shifts to brace for, over a clean texture. Gentle vocals riding over it, at an unhurried mid-tempo. Predictable and even, it’s easy to settle into and let run. On our 19,209-song scale, it reads gentler than 91% of everything we’ve measured.
