intro (spective) (aka “The Beginning” by Flawed Mangoes) - 1H Loop (Instrumental)
7There are many songs using this base at the moment but I’m pretty sure that the original is “The Beginning” by Flawed Mangoes: • The Beginning
The first one that pushed me to make this video is intro (spective) by Cleo's Trademark: • intro (spective)
The guitar base can be found here: • sombr - would've been you (official v...
The same base of intro (spective) and of this video was also used here: • 薏
A 1H Loop of Flawed Mangoe’s “The Beginning” is available here: • The Beginning - (1 HOUR LOOP)
Flawed Mangoes also made an acoustic version that can be found here: • The Beginning (Acoustic)
This is a recent TikTok trend, and at first I thought that the only base available was the one by Cleo’s Trademark, the same that you can hear in the video.
I tried to look for the instrumental version on YouTube but I couldn't find anything, so as usual I decided to create it myself thanks to a software that removes the vocal parts (if you're interested, here's the link: https://fadr.com).
You will certainly notice small additions not found in other bases, which I prefer to the original by Flawed Mangoes.
The animation was one of the basic ones from Microsoft Clipchamp, but I think it works well with the context.
Nothing to take away from the different versions with the vocals, but the base has an immense melancholic power.
It smells of summer sunsets on meadows moved by the wind, of vanished adolescences, of unattainable childhoods, of family memories and of beauty in the little things.
I decided to create a one-hour version for selfish purposes of estrangement and reflection - I’ll probably be the major listener of this video - but if anyone else listening drops a tear during it, I will know that we will all be a little closer, caught in the coils of these incredible atmospheres.
