'Looking At The World Through A Window' is a composition that appears on Harding Street Assembly Lab compilation "HSAL #57 - Isolation".
As various levels of government took to culturally mandating "social distancing" in March of 2020, HSAL sought ways to counter the potentially negative affect of isolation. HSAL reached out to several friends of the label, measuring interest in a compilation of music that followed two rules:
* it was created during the COVID-19 scare (post March 13th)
* it was an instrospective take on "isolation"

"I worked on this track on a beautiful sunny day [April 2nd 2020] and could hear the birds outside, ready for spring and summer.
Strange and sad feeling to see life out there and not being able to be part of it. That is why at first this song started out with darker tones and emotions considering how I feel about our world situation.
Then I decided to record the birds from my studio window and use them in the song along with a couple cars passing by. Suddenly what was happening outside, this beautiful day and these little birds brought the song to a more hopeful place which is actually what we all need right now.
The picture accompanying this track is a photo from my little studio’s window I took at that moment and I feel that it actually represents perfectly this weird feeling of isolation while outside life still looks full and wonderful.” - KS
