About this sleeping song
Ethereal measures 17% softer, 88% warmer and 61% steadier than the rest of the songbook, which gives it 2 of 5 moons for sleepiness. It's not in the nightly rotation (that's the 140 sleepiest songs), but it's here in full.
Its sigil is drawn from its own sound: the curve is its loudness from start to finish, the 5 petals come from its tempo, the inner moon from its brightness, and the star marks its loudest moment.

Why so strict about streaming? Re-uploads, remixes, samples and covers on Spotify, Apple Music and other services get fingerprinted, and then false Content ID claims hit everyone who uses the music properly. Purrple Cat Self Releases have no Content ID, so there's nothing to clear when you use them as intended.
