I'm honestly stumped as to what time signature this is even in. How do you even work in these?

*reads description* Oh...i understand Verse's feelings.I also have a special childhood place that i used to play with the neighbor kids, but now it's all old and abandoned. It's painful to go there now, but every once in a while i tend to visit that old place ç_ç...(Also this part is REALLY beautiful, i seriously almost cried here ;-;)

Allow me to gush for a moment, but this song came into my life at a time when I'm preparing to move across the country for the first time in my life. I've always lived in the same place my entire childhood, and my birthplace is filled with memories, every part of it. Some good ones yes, but a whole lot of the awkward memories, missed opportunities, mistakes, and embarrassment that comes with being a child. Even if leaving all my family and everything I'm familiar with will be a definite improvement in my life... it's hard not to be all sappy and nostalgic. I feel this song and this mood on a deep, deep level.

If I weren't already following you, I would again after listening to this!

There's the link to the earlier one. The mix was a touch muddy, and although parts of the mood resonated with what I was going for, I didn't feel the song felt ethereal enough. To that end, I decided to do some very odd things with the rhythm. I haven't messed around enough with waltz rhythms yet, anyway...

"Looking at Qaimusu Island now, was akin to putting on a pair of gloves that did not fit. Everything was smaller than it had been when Verse was a child, but that was the least of its problems. Even the awkward memories, missed opportunities, mistakes, and embarrassment of childhood paled in comparison to how run down the island was now. 
The tops of abandoned buildings could be seen through the trees, the roads were empty, the forest had overgrown places that hadn't been overgrown before, and more of the strange rocks that had always poked up through the island were doing so now.
Verse could smell a cookfire or two, and it was rather obvious that someone was still living in the village, despite what the coach driver had said. Still more than anything in the world, Verse wanted to avoid going back to the village. 
Instead, the fox-kin turned toward the old cabin the McDowell family had once inhabited, hoping it hadn't collapsed into the sea under its own weight yet."
