i will not break down the whole thing, but some highlights for me:
- the pedal after the inst. break at 2:40
- the chromatic passing chords at 3:38
- 5:15 onward - nasty tritones in the bass; the strings arr. is so lovely generally, but the way they hit the ninth at 5:20 gets me every time
Hard agreed with everything!!
I've always loved Extras and the Accordion Song, and thought it was such a pretty melody, but had let the larger Internet dissuade me from getting into My Destiny proper for too long - I'm glad to see someone give it the respect it deserves. ✨

but now i know the power of session musicians and letting musicians improvise and interpret the music!
the super sparse intro with just long cello notes and violin solo moving into these huge chords! wow!
the chords at 0:48 fading away to the solo violin? heartbreaking! make a me cry!
