I’m not sure how much you need to know about the reasons for the happiness but for me, there’s something about the musicality of how the water meets pebbles or the twists and turns of a stream like this one that never fails to unpick whatever angst or feeling of fragmentation I’m feeling. I know I can rely on it to make me happy; like there’s a code in the different notes that untangles and rearranges until everything feels clear and light. I love that the longer you listen to sounds like this the more music you can pick out. And I love that just by listening to them you can tell that the water is clear and clean and that as I listen it will unlock lots of other memories; of the smell of the woods or the movement of the seawater and seaweed.
