Review

Lân decided to listen to this after a lonely day, at about 1 in the morning, because it was a good time to listen to before sleeping. Starting, it uses a deep tone, and also deep guitar chords over the drone. After this, the song starts to use something that sounds like lots of people talking, like being in a train station, because of the achoes. The song adds to this sound through the rest of the song, but for some people, the changes would be difficult to notice. However, you could notice, if you listen carefully, things like a high pitched tone and the sounds of the city, like the title. The title uses the word freeze also, and this word is relevant to the song also, because its similar to the way the guitar loop in the background keeps going the same way for the entire song. Obviously, this is very different to the lively atmosphere of the talking in the background, because it shows something that is busy and chaotic, so in a personal opinion it creates a lovely contrast to the guitar loop. Also, it could be suggested that despite the sound of the people, next to everyone is doing the same thing, and when talking about lots of people, theres not many differences from person to person, and so it shows the idea of freezing, through having very different sounds in the same song and naming the song "the city freezing". To talk about how much Lân likes the song, she thinks that its great, because it sounds great, with the deep guitar loop with the track of lots of people talking in the background giving something interesting to listen to as an instrument. A very nice track.
