Another thing I noticed talking about Eleventh Hour: It’s a mix of the guitar and the piano. The Guitar is associated with the Author and his children, while the Piano is associated with The World Machine. It almost feels like a conflict between The World Machine’s destructive breakdown and The Author and his children’s plan.
Thinking about Eleventh Hour from OneShot and how it makes me FFFFFFFFFFEel.
It’s a downtrodden song, sure, but it has just the amount of comforting ambiance to push you forward. It sounds dire, and the name of the song implies that the end is nigh, but *something* is keeping you going when even the world itself has stopped being able to function. Most instruments have an echoing to them, like the piano and the synth(?) at the beginning, exhibiting a feeling of loneliness, but there’s parts where the guitar shines through, creating a feeling of comfort, like someone in the midst of a storm, assuring you that it will all be okay.
