It beautifully conveys the power of friendship—that hearts remain connected even when apart—paired with a melodic composition.
It’s a must-listen for anyone who has experienced parting from or reuniting with a friend.

It has a nostalgic atmosphere and a pleasant sound, as if you’re flipping through a photo album of your youth.
