Glowing Pains: Music From The Gardens Between

littleghostelli I found this game and this soundtrack during one of the hardest periods of time in my life and it became home for me when I didn't feel like I had a physical one. Between Friends also reminds me very much of my best friend, and reminds me that our friendship stays close even when we aren't. Favorite track: Between Friends.

Lefora Williams Tim Shiel was my most listened to artist in 2019 and this soundtrack is still a staple in my rotation. I’m so very grateful for this piece of art. Favorite track: Spirit Duet.
