From Hugo:

A Distant Past was inspired by the hazy, dreamlike quality of memories—the way they blur together over time and carry both warmth and a touch of sadness. In writing this piece, I wanted to capture the fluid motion of reminiscing, where thoughts drift in and out like fragments of a half-remembered story. The music reflects a sense of distance, evoking the bittersweet feeling of looking back at moments that can never fully return.
