this is a long shot.. instrumental song from around 2005-2007 ish

so like the title says this will be hard but MAYBE someone knows the song I'm talking about. I downloaded it from limewire around 2004-2007 (I assume it came out around that time but can't be sure), I was in my emo phase so it was probably a small emo type band. these were the days of MySpace, limewire and ipods.

the only things I remember:

  1. the song was an instrumental (if it had any words it had very few, but I believe it was fully instrumental)

  2. it starts with one instrument (I believe drums) and then adds a new instrument keeping a certain tune, and keeps adding a new instrument every time it loops until it all builds up into something I found very beautiful, then it starts taking an instrument away one at a time til it's only back to the drums and fades out

  3. something like 'sad summer" keeps coming to my mind. I don't know if that's the song name or band name, but I havent had any luck searching for it (except a band on SoundCloud but their first ep didn't come out until 2015)..i don't even know that I have the title correct or if it's something close.

(edit, from clarifying in comments) 4. the drums at the beginning were very simple, and sounded kind of like a marching type beat (think the beginning of Like Toy Soldiers by Eminem, but not the same, just that simple type of drum beat) 5. the song had a melancholy/emotional vibe. not upbeat, I can ALMOST hum the tune but shazaam has no idea what I'm talking about lol

also the band was probably VERY little known (not something like explosions in the sky). I have no idea how I even found it and it was the only song I had from them. it was the first time I began to appreciate instrumental songs at that age. thank you all for trying!!

I've been looking for this song for YEARS so if anyone figures it out I will be sooo excited
