2) In The Afterglow - Words We Couldn't Say

 

 

News from Vancouver, British Columbia dreampop / shoegaze (Alfred Hermida) 

 

"Words We Couldn't Say" reverberates with the weight of regret. Each note drifts like a forgotten whisper, echoing memories of love lost and moments unspoken. Shadows dance around the heart, where laughter once soared, now replaced by a bittersweet silence. As the ethereal melodies rise and fall, they unveil the longing for connection, revealing the scars of what might have been. 

A poignant reminder that some words, though never spoken, linger eternally.
