It would make sense that a procedurally generated game has a fair amount of music in it and if that game is also a racing game, a game that might require you to do tricks that there be catchy music. There is a lot of music in Descenders that are just instrumental tracks, which is fine because they blend into the background and I do not have to think about the music itself. I also recall having similar feelings about the instrumental music in 1080° Avalanche. But then when a song comes on that has lyrics, it just feels like there is more of a punch and you might start feeling more inclined to perform tricks either in time with the music or try to make it to a ramp right as the song peaks.
This song is one of the tracks that I do not know if I would normally vibe with had I come across it outside of the game. Veela's vocals are a little high-pitched for my regular taste in vocals and the music itself does sound a lot like the rest of the instrumental music in the game. The two parts of the song together, along with it being a vocal track on a primarily instrumental soundtrack have now elevated it and I am now excited when it comes on. I am still not pulling off any complex tricks though (see Monday), but I do seem to have more fun when this track comes on.
