Oh man. This is great. That cello is so warm and full then the flute? Fuckin hell it's so thoughtfully composed and beautiful. The vocals and harmonies are haunting and beautiful and then the spooky sad cowboy vibes at 2:10 is just incredible. Real Moody Blues vibes.
Great great stuff.

This was an absolute pleasure to work on.  Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful song with me, and I hope that my parts did it justice.  It is a wonderful song.  You should be proud sir...

Yeah, this is an extra nice one.  The lovely sounds all work in conjunction to create a warm, welcoming, and wistful feeling.  Particularly good vocal work on this.  One of my favorites of yours (and Napear's) I've heard this year.

Awesome collab! The strings mesh really well with the wistful guitar strums. Love the string harmonics as alternating with the flute. Beautiful song. Certified WB Gold.

Congratulations to emily, there are not many people in this world, who can write and play so sensitive lovesongs. Also you deliver fantastic bass stems too. The instrumentation here is magnificent with the flute and cello. Reminds me a lot of midlake. Supergood.

Melancholy Man is an all time favorite and the album it's on, A Question of Balance, is really excellent.

Love this one :) another jwh + Napear gem, ready for the album.

I’m really loving these collabs.  This one is especially soulful and emotive with soothing vocals, poetic lyrics, and Napear’s delicate, well placed orchestration.  Such a beautiful slow dance between the guitar, cello, flute, and strings.  Kudos to you all for this wonderful production.

Beautiful. I really like the turn at the end, very heartfelt, but aksi bittersweet somehow sound wise. We all have our worries..but what a treasure to have someone wanting to release them to the sky
