floating under the expanse of stars (part 2)
finally, the long awaited part 2 to floating under the expanse of stars, made in FL Studio with Noire Pure piano, SWAM violin + cello, and stock string section (and generously soaked in ValhallaShimmer)
i actually had the part 2 to this song partially written down already when i released the first part (hence the fade out at the end of the first video), but because the entire song is pretty long i put out the first part by itself to gauge audience reaction, and at the time of writing it is my most popular upload yet! (*^▽^*)
so i hope you enjoy the second part just as much as the first (if not more), and of course, thanks for listening :D

(warning big wall of text about composition below)
when i first started floating under the expanse of stars, i had the main five-note motif (e-d-e-a-b) in mind throughout writing, along with a simple C major - D major - E minor - G major progression to go with it
but with some experimenting i found that the motif also works with a progression like F major - G major - A minor - C major, without needing to even transpose the melody
so i established two sections, one in the key of G major and one (that starts) in the key of A minor, and thats one of the main reasons why there's two parts :)
also, you might have noticed that the violin and orchestral parts take a more prominent role in this part :O this is actually because when the first part was initially being written i didnt actually have either the violin or orchestra! when i started writing part 1 it was originally just supposed to be a piano piece but im glad i added them on a whim and decided to keep using it (•̀ω•́)✧
while i was writing part 2 i knew that it was going to be tricky since an emotional climax of sorts was already established in part 1, so i needed some more development on the melody in the second part to make it actually satisfying as a whole
so i tried to create variations on the melody by flipping it, both left-to-right and upside-down(sort of), and it actually sounded good so that's what i went with :3
i suppose overall that means the five-note motif appears in a total of three different "variations" so to speak (four if including different rhythms) which is really cool :D
ok yapping over i hope you love this as much as i loved making it (✿◡‿◡)

this is beautiful. don't ask why but I instantly thought of touhou, except way more elegant, beautiful, and y'know less "intensely fighting Japanese girls with bullets yet no guns"

The first part of this one absolutely grew on me, it was a certified banger. This part was everything I expected it to be and more. Oh how you grew since the first one, keep on making music, and give this person more subscribers please, he truly deserves it, have a good one Solare! Seeya under the expanse of stars

Ive been listening to “floating under the expanse of stars” and “what once was” on repeat I cant stop it’s too good.
This legit gave goosebumps near the end holy moly this is DIVINE
"if ZUN was reborn as an indie music maker" 🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥
the previous one made me feel a desperation and aspiration i have felt many times before, to achieve or do something so badly that the image is nearly as clear in my mind as something i see with my eyes, yet i am unable to follow through due to it either being impossible or i simply lack the discipline to get there, a feeling like having a vast view if stars and galaxies before you, yet you are chained to a rock and unable to get loose But this one changes things, i feel like i finally started realising something, started breaking the chains and finally working towards the goals the plagued my mind to make them a reality, i unlocked and released everything weighing me down and finally lift off into the galaxy i always saw but could never reach in short terms this made me feel motivated and helped me realise that if i dont give up, maybe i can achieve my dreams, even if that wasnt the original meaning this song was going for
absolutely beautiful. sublime. the kind of music that has to be Experienced, not just heard.
That feeling of being caught in a wonderful moment that you know you'll cherish forever with someone, almost as if time stops for you to relish in the presence of the stars to thank them for giving you and your loved one such an amazing experience in such a short life on Earth; that your soul will carry that memory even after your soul moves on. That's what this feels like to me. ❤
still makes me awe at Zun that he is able to create similar stuff just like that
The violin is incredibly simple and elegantly magic
First you feel repulsed because the instruments sound so synthetic, then you become moved by the flow of the piece, and finally you feel envy that you cannot do something like this

Never understood what people meant when they say songs “capture emotions” but this here has opened my eyes.. i dont know why but i think it’s just the surreal beauty of it that makes it sound like the meaning of life if it were portrayed in a song! Thank you.
listened to this during the eclipse, watching totality and looking around at the world in its dim beauty with this song in the background made me tear up
3:48 to 4:16 feels like a dance 😊 Especially starting around 4:01 it feels like I’m flying through the stars
OHHH THIS ABSOLUTELY BLEW ALL MY EXPECTATIONS OUT OF THE WATER I’M SO IN LOVE WITH THIS idon’t even have the words. this is my favourite song from you without a doubt in my mind
THIS IS BRILLIANT!!! I love the melody in the background, sounds like touhou music
This is amazing is every way and the big moments of the song was emphasized especially at 3:18 and 3:55! So beautiful!
Really good, felt like I was watching a series or like the life, perseverance and death of a character. Crazy how u can just do that with music
Finally realized after the song ended I had been holding my breath for a solid minute... literally breathtaking! Well done!
I really never have any words for these songs because they’re so good.
i got so many chills that i literally had to turn my heater on. you have insane skill❤️
the first part was how i originally found you and i loved it, but man this part is even better. smiling with tears in my eyes as i listen and imagine myself sitting beachside, looking up and seeing the universe unfold right in front of me, thinking about life. thank you
I discovered your channel the other day, and safe to say, you’ve genuinely become one of my favorite artists to have on. You’re so talented at making music and it shows. You constantly release banger after banger. Keep up the amazing work!
LET’S GOOOO Oh bro, and I thought the first one was already absolutely incredible from the moment I first listened to it. Absolutely phenomenal composition on this one mate, glad to see the song that first got me interested in your channel have a new rendition.
LETS GO, PART TWO OF THE BEST SONG IVE EVER HEARD!!!!!!!!!!

This is amazing. I have absolutely no words to describe what i feel listening to this song. If you put both of them together it would be one of the best peices of music id ever heard.
This is a wonderful composition Solare. I scarce have the words to describe the emotions it invoked, however, it truly is a masterpiece in every definition of the word. Especially at 3:48, it was a perfect final “shout”. I hope you continue to share art like this, and that you are doing well. (Edit, grammar corrections)

And to my invited guest, I hope my reward of recommendation was a match for your curious anticipation. :)
Hey ! I wanna tell you that I've listened to almost all your channel lately and I loved every single music I heard, I think you are very talented and I'll definitely check all your upcoming uploads ! I even listen to some of your pieces daily, and as a musician, I respect a lot your work. I had to tell you that because you're actually getting among my favourite artists, and I love spreading good vibes to people, especially when they "gave" me something this good ! Even if you're already receiving tons of comments like mine, I hope you'll be happy to know that you made someone's evening :) (and btw sorry for my english, it's not my native language, so I hope you understood everything :'))

Also, I have something to add. I know by experience that making music when you're so in love with music often comes when you're "low", or at least when you have things to tell. Whatever could those "things" be, you're telling them the best way. Thanks again for making us feel with your music, it's far from being given to everyone !
CHILLS
didnt expect a part 2, honestly amazing
feels like a touhou soundtrack. Its truly immaculate
Oooo that part at 0:30 gave me chills
This is beautiful.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAA I LOVE IT PLEAAASEEEE
Just have to say, Mozart-level talent 👏👏👏👏 You rock man, keep doing what you're doing.
Explain how you bend human emotions to your will like this please i'm in tears rn is so beautiful
certified epic solare premiere
underrated, god damn
thanks, I am crying this is beautifull.
Is no one going to mention how cool it is that you wrote in *7/4* time?? And made it phenomenal?? Hello??
omg!!! please make more music!!! the violin feels like a realistic detache, i LOVE the pianos, and i LOVE the motif! tysm solare for this awesome music
This song is so damn good. Nothing else I can say, just incredible.
I heard the first part when I was deeply in love, so secure in my passion for someone and in his passion for me, so sure it would last forever. Here, I listen to the second part with a broken heart, abandoned by the one who saved me, crushed by the one who healed me. I don’t know what I did wrong to him, but all I know is it hurts. It hurts.
WTH this is so good, I love your use of bluesy chromatic melodies during the piano sections =)
That down tempo part is glorious.
oof that violin in at the end paired with the piano, absolutely breathtaking!
somehow this matched Gojo awakening scene a lot. Especially when he used hollow purple for the first time.
Please make this one full piece and upload it to spotifiy! Gorgeous composition!
This is genuinely one of the most beautiful things I've ever listened to, keep up the good work
the first part was randomly recommended to me, and out of curiosity I decided to check out your channel and immediately saw this part, of course I had to listen. this was a good listen, and I love it so much, I wish I could make music like this. I might follow your work in the future, definitely a hidden gem for me. Keep up the good work!
this is incredible
Now this is talent right here
You are super underrated, absolutely stunning composition and effects. It super rare for me to get goosebumps listening to music for me but this somehow achieves that. Thank you for this masterpiece ✨
Thanks for creating this, you inspire me
Iv been learning from people like you and Azali, thank you
this is one of my favorite tracks from you!! AND YOU MADE A PART 2?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!
I got chills at the end, holy …
Absolutely astonishing Earned yourself a sub
It’s so cool how you are able to change time signatures so quickly, your songs never fail to amaze me
Love the use of rubato its difficult to get slowing and speeding up a peice to sound good, i dont think i could do it, and you managed really well
Epic Touhou-like music
yes!
this gave me chills bro
thank you solare.
Woke up for this
FINNALY A SECOND PART, LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I loved this. 💜You made the piece clear as in terms of what was the melody and what was the countermelody, and I, as a band player, find that to be very impressive and awe inspiring. You did great work with this composition. 👍
need this on spotify ASAP (part 2)
Damn this is beautiful. Would sound even better if it wasn't on youtube with its audio compression.
simple and beautiful...
YOO LETS GO I didnt expect to see number 2 on my fyp :)
BANGERRR
how is this so majestic im def subbing
this could literally be in paper mario origami king. beautiful song.
this sounds absolutely ETHEREAL. props to you. like actually it sounds like it was pulled out of a game with an absolutely insane soundtrack (i wasnt gonna say xenoblade 2 because it doesnt sound too similar to anything ive heard, but it does sound like it belongs there or in games with those types of soundtracks!!!/vpos). either way, i didnt expect to be both jamming and tearing up at 230am, thank you for the lovely song and experience tonight. much love my friend
Certified fire music
This piece was amazing! 🌟
Amazing work!!!
Great work! Let's get this video seen by more people.

"I found....love.......at last" AHHH MOMENT 💀💀💀💀💀💯💯💯💯 By the way this reminds me of Howls Moving Castle or some kinda of KDrama or Chinese drama.
this so beautiful
YES A PART TWO!!! I really wanted to see this lol And also why are my friends also addict to valhallashimmer smh smh anyway I like the jazz chords in this one, and I'm glad to find another "haha chord changes" user! AND odd time signature user on top of that. I wonder from where you learnt those things?
Is there a version where it's both the first and second parts combined? They both sound amazing and I really want to add the entire song to my playlist ;-;
this is wonderful
Beautiful 😢
