[Royce Wood Junnior - Valentine Virus Part Ii (II?) (Ode to Prod)]

I'm in a Spotify-playlist-making mood and came across this song through an autoplay on Royce Wood Junior's most popular songs library.

It sounds like the kind of song that would play at the end of the night, when things are coming to a happy close and you are glad to be where you are and are just appreciating the moment. For sitting by the water in a park with your best friend(s) and the city lights are glimmering from their reflections in the water. The drive home after spending time together going to a concert. Admiring the view after you went to the top of a high rise building or climbed the roof or hiked atop a hill for that insta #views photo. Maybe even the night before a reunion you're looking forward to.

Probably the image that protrudes the most is that of being with people you love and "being with you again", as Junior sings. I like how the song also feels kind of sad but uplifting at the same time. Like a reminder that you're putting in this effort and getting this work done--going through whatever it is youre going through--just so you can have the time to enjoy with certain others.

Okay. Basically I wrote this long and extensive description of how I feel listening to this song because I didn't have a playlist to match its vibe, yessssssssssssss

Take a listen below :)
