It's over.

Getting hit with this for the first time late at night with the earphones in is what hooked me onto SG back in 2019.
I know we all lost some of the cinematics that captured our imaginations.
I don't have all my favorites anymore, but I still get to enjoy some of them, like the French fry and burger scene with Bella on her car, for example, and I loved the simple intimacy of that scene.
I also know that Ocean will give us more great cinematics, tied to music that he has locked down so none of the music services can bitch about his success with an Adult story once he makes the big splash on Steam that I see coming.
There will be other music to take us beyond the placeholder music he inserted so he could deliver CH 4.5 Full and move 100% into CH 5 development. It just takes time to find the gems that we got to enjoy as part of the story (like Waykap's 'Give My All To You' and Humble Hey's 'What My Mama Said' and 'Your Dad's Red Truck').
Those songs, tied to those cinematic moments, were so good, I would play the songs on YouTube and close my eyes, watching those scenes again in the cinema of my mind.
I was traveling a lot for work then and my airport wait times were much more enjoyable due to those Summers Gone moments.
I Absolutely believe that Ocean will create more of those moments for us as he builds Summers Gone in CH 5 and beyond.
Cheers to Friday and more of those Summers Gone moments! May your sunrise be as good as the MC's.
