Hiraeth by Matthew White

I stumbled across this word and it felt so fitting to what I was feeling when I wrote this.
It's a Welsh word that loosely translates to the a deep longing for a home that no longer exists, tinged with grief.
I'd been playing around with these chord shapes but couldn't settle on a time signature and everything kept feeling very forced.
I don't often write in this time and I think changing it up from my normal patterns struck up a slightly different approach...one that I feel combines elements from the first few EPs, being less effects reliant for some parts along with exploring sonic textures more aligned to later releases.
Whilst it's not a short piece of music, I hope it encourages you to take some time to just sit and be still.
