I recently realized that this short piece, lasting only about 17 seconds, was coincidentally created during what I often call the golden time. Back then, everything still felt whole, and the friendships carried a warmth that I wanted to capture in sound. That is why I subtitled it “this is what friendship feels like”, which is explicitly a nod to JVKE’s titling style, which inspired me. It’s a simple gesture, but it reflects how music can hold onto fleeting moments of connection.
Looking back, "27224" now feels like the first act in a larger arc. It represents the joy and closeness of friendship before the rupture I later expressed in "cycling remains", and before the dedication I offered in "17325 (Waltz for NDC)". Together, these works trace a journey: from the good times, to loss, to tribute. Fans have even decoded the initials of NDC across some of the songs via online buzz, showing me how much curiosity and care they bring when listening closely.
