I wasn’t planning to write today, but this instrumental track left me no choice, it’s that good. Soek’s new release “We Were Taller Then” is like a quiet doorway back into childhood. The track leans into warm memories without forcing anything, letting its gentle piano lines and soft waves of strings paint a picture that’s easy to fall into. There’s a sense of ease in the way the music moves, it’s almost like flipping through old snapshots where everything felt simple and full of wonder.
The blend of piano, strings and light electronic touches gives the song a calm flow. You can hear how much care went into shaping every part. This piece featured musicians from different parts of the world, from Michigan to Croatia and Vancouver, and that’s what made it special to me. This instrumental just invites you to breathe and remember the version of yourself that believed anything was possible.
If you’re looking for something relaxing and unique, this is exactly the kind of piece you’ll want to keep close. I really found myself replaying it without even thinking, and honestly, it felt like a small gift. Soek has created something special here and I’m glad I got the chance to sit with it.
