It doesn’t feel surreal enough. KH has a very surreal atmosphere and storyline, and both of the previous tracks in all their versions captured that to some extent. The new theme, by its preview, sounds a little out of place in that respect. It’s almost so distracting to the point that it takes you out of the KH world, rather than draws you in.

It’s too “real” sounding. I can’t imagine the vision board that might go along with it, in the context of KH. What I see is someone sitting in their damp dark studio apartment in New York thinking “well here I am 10 years on in NYC, still stuck in this shitty apartment hanging onto a dream that’s rapidly fading away.” That type of “depressing reality is sinking in” aura, without any sort of spark in sound or sight.
