Credit for the catchy vocal melody goes to Drum Bender (nee Old and Gray). I only realized I had ripped it off after I recorded the first take. Sorry/Thanks.

all the elements here work together magically to scratch and massage my ears and brain in such a memorable way, plus the pace and progression through various ideas and spaces provides a beautifully cinematic reach... cuts deep like a brilliant shooting star through the darkest night sky smile

this has Mark Hollis quality. I am lucky to hear such a great track. thanks.

Very cathartic and personal... such a good reminder that music creation is for everyone, and what you create may be helpful or even a lifeline for someone else: thank you Weekly Beats heart keep on trucking everyone!

agggh Mark Hollis. Just so good
RIP RIP RIP

Really enjoyed the space that is present throughout the track.  Giving those clarinet lines even more melodic emphasis.  Soothing and a bit haunting all at once.  The clarinet has such a nice bass tone that meshes perfectly with your vocals.  Well done!

the clarinets in the beginning started sounding like bagpipes - such a cool sound
then the interplay created such a haunting dance with your vocals

for some reason this passage of the secret garden came to mind (like the wind on the moors):

"The carriage lamps shed a yellow light on a rough-looking road which seemed to be cut through bushes and low-growing things which ended in the great expanse of dark apparently spread out before and around them. A wind was rising and making a singular, wild, low, rushing sound.

“It’s—it’s not the sea, is it?” said Mary, looking round at her companion.

“No, not it,” answered Mrs. Medlock. “Nor it isn’t fields nor mountains, it’s just miles and miles and miles of wild land that nothing grows on but heather and gorse and broom, and nothing lives on but wild ponies and sheep.”

“I feel as if it might be the sea, if there were water on it,” said Mary. “It sounds like the sea just now....”
