Lightness is a music track that is unlocked in the north-east of Asgarnia, around Ice Mountain or the Monastery or east of Falador. In this area, the music player will shuffle between playing this track and Scape Soft.
In Classic mode, the track plays at an area around Goblin Village and in the south-west slope of Ice Mountain. Playing at the latter is presumably unintentional due to Alone playing there before 2021.
Although it is presumably not supposed to do so, Lightness along with Scape Soft replaces Spooky within Draynor Manor fenced area after the track playing once in Modern mode.
Analysis
This song contains a pleasant piano solo and horn solo with snare rhythm. It begins with a lone acoustic guitar playing an arpeggiated chord progression, featuring mostly minor chords, which result in a dark, mysterious mood. This progression (beginning with E minor and ending with E major) forms the basis of the song, and after two bars more instruments are added: violin, the drum and high pitched synthesizer tones, and then a horn part. The song is at a medium to slow tempo with a serene melody.
