PLAY THE KEY REVISED, 4min,. Germany

This song, part of our 2013 collection from [Former Drum & Bass Work PT.08 2013 – 2017], follows a protagonist grappling with deep personal challenges. Under relentless emotional assault from her close yet fractured surroundings, she discovers solace by “playing the key,” which transports her into an epic, dreamlike world. In this alternate reality, she encounters the dandelion—a symbol of healing and renewal—that provides a powerful antidote to the cruelty she’s endured since childhood.
