Courtesy of Harsh Productions:

»Pensive In Reminiscence«: Reminiscing the person who loved. Remembering the days they’ve spent together in the past. To the woods and dancing under the oak tree until the night falls. Until the footprints remain, and faded into memories.

“Such a melancholy days, reminiscing the days of the past before the greyness of life. »Pensive In Reminiscence« is conveying the author’s lamentation from the past couple years.

Facing the uncertainty paths, unstable emotions, lonesome, feeling down and guiltily.

Missing the old days. Gazing at the sky with magical sight, listening to the strains he loves, while writing his poem between the dusk.

But now, the only thing he can seek is just a miracle.”

This song also features guest vocals by Jihad & Januaryo Hardy.
