Stories In The Sky by Quincy Weigert: A Journey You Won’t Forget
Man, if you’re into trance and haven’t heard Stories In The Sky by Quincy Weigert yet, you’re seriously missing out. Released in 2018 under Flashover Trance—a label that knows how to pick 'em—this album feels like a love letter to electronic music fans everywhere. And coming from the Netherlands, which is kinda like the holy land of trance, it’s got that extra layer of magic.
Let me break it down for you. There are two tracks on this one that just stick with me. First up, there’s “Stories In The Sky (Extended Mix).” Oh wow, where do I even start? This track builds so slowly, almost teasing you at first, but then BOOM—it hits. The synths swell, the beat drops, and suddenly you’re not sitting in your room anymore; you’re floating somewhere above the clouds. It’s emotional without being cheesy, uplifting without feeling forced. Like, I remember putting this on during a road trip once, windows down, wind rushing past, and thinking, “Yeah, THIS is what life’s about.” Cheesy? Maybe. True? Absolutely.
Then there’s the original version of “Stories In The Sky,” which is shorter but packs just as much punch. What gets me here is the melody—it’s simple, yeah, but insanely catchy. Those piano notes hit different, man. They remind me of staring at the stars late at night when everything else fades away. It’s one of those songs that makes you wanna close your eyes and let the world disappear for a bit. Honestly, I’ve played it on repeat more times than I care to admit.
Quincy Weigert didn’t just make an album here—he crafted an experience. Listening to these tracks isn’t just background noise; it’s like flipping through pages of someone’s diary, except instead of words, it’s all emotions laid bare through sound. That’s what good trance does, right? Takes you somewhere else entirely.
You know, writing this review made me realize something kinda funny. People always talk about how music tells stories, but sometimes... sometimes it doesn’t need to. Sometimes it just lets YOU tell your own story while it hums along quietly in the background. Weird thought, huh? But hey, maybe that’s why Stories In The Sky sticks with me. Not because it shouts loud enough to drown out everything else—but because it whispers exactly what you need to hear.
