a sleepy cardinal singing on the fence friday morning inspired jwh to noodle some guitar parts - he shared them with me to build on for this weeks beat - it was a neat creative challenge...

wishing you all well!  heart

“I’m wearying to escape into that glorious world, and to be always there: not seeing it dimly through tears, and yearning for it through the walls of an aching heart: but really with it, and in it.” ― Emily Brontë

“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and being alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You have to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes too near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself that you tasted as many as you could.” ― Louise Erdrich

follow your longing...

I like how the more abrasive growls mesh with the soothing cadence of the guitar. Sometimes in is the only way out

Love the picturesque feels the guitar parts have throughout.   Excellent drums that have a sauntering waltzy vibe going on that had me swaying along. Then combined with your vocals it's really cinematic. Also yay for the reverbs! smile 

Awww! Love cardinals!

I love when birds inspire a song! I feel like they would be proud of us if they knew what we did smile
I like the scratchy guitar tone and the way the drums get busy. There’s a lot of feeling in this one!

a graceful track. love the guitarwalz signature. the drums are adorable elements too. well done.

the green language of birds is the best can listen to them all day, lovely track.

A lot of cool sounds in here and there's a really epic soaring feel to it that feels like the bird is just soaring through the clouds without a care in the world.

thanks frenz - just waltzing away with the birds here

It's so pleasant, thank you for this

Very nice mixing of the guitar, with its sepia vibe, as if it were coming from an old radio. The beat and the distant vocals mix very well with this.

glorious, the sound of fading photos

thank you all - sending positive oscillations your way

Plaintive is a word I thought of typing. I like the guitar! All befitting of a good bird friend. Gazing out across ... and having a good think.

you both create such an amazing dynamic-duo: your beats resound a defiant groundwork over which josh’s guitar soars so beautifully ethereal.
thank you both for your exceptional music heart

Enjoying the Jwh colabs. I like those little snarly swells (not sure if they are guitar or synths). Great melody in the guitar riff.  Love the drum kit you're using this week and those reverse sounding effects.

Love this guitar phrase at the beginning... I've been a bit absent from the social side of WeeklyBeats for a lot of the year, just barely managing to keep up with the composition goals, and it's a great pleasure to come back and listen to some of your work from earlier in the year, very inspiring stuff. Love the change in feel around 1:40.
