Counting Fireworks is a celebration of new beginnings, told through a textured and ambient alternative rock arrangement and an intimate video created by Elina Pasok. Lyrically, the track feels very relatable, painting a picture of the familiar but with flourishes of doubt and pensiveness.

The video, shot all in one take, casts a spotlight on the remnants of life in a very literal yet creative way. You can check out the video below.
