Falling stones by Mr. Henry

In "Falling Stones," we find echoes of suspended existences, like days falling - heavy and relentless - in a clouded heart.
An ode to fleeting time, invisible yet oppressive.
This song is the twin sister of "Home to our dreams" together they form a mini series into the economy of Preludes to Nowhere.
The song starts off with a quick, modal intro and then unfolds into a more complex ending.
A guitar is playing a repeating descending arpeggio pattern that echoes, pulling you into a dreamy, space-like feel.
This guitar pattern goes down lower and lower, and just when it hits the bottom, it starts to go back up.
At the same time, another guitar plays a tune that goes in the opposite direction it starts high and goes lower.
As the first guitar pattern gets back to where it started, the second guitar's tune hits its lowest point.
Then, everything flips: the first pattern starts going down again, and the second guitar's tune starts rising, joined by a third tune that sort of dances around the others.
It's like a musical spiral where everything is connected and flips back and forth.
The song could keep going like this, flipping and changing, creating a never-ending loop of cool, spacey music."
Accompanied by an evocative photograph of the shadow of two windows on a ruined wall, symbolizing the delicate balance between the ephemeral and the enduring, with a sense of nostalgia and longing. This photo is twin photo of "Home to our dreams".
