If “JUST GIMME THEM BABIES!!!” isn’t the most poignant lyric of 2020, then I don’t know what is…

Hey I’m sorry if this is annoying but me and my friends attempted to make a few ambient songs and we just uploaded our first song to Soundcloud! We would really appreciate it if you could give it a listen! Sorry for self promotion but we’re really looking for feedback - it’s only 90 seconds long :)
