This gentle hug is very moving. Nicely layered the guitars and beautifully performed the lyrics. The beat is tasty in stereo and sits excellent in the mix. Best wishes to your friend.

This reminds me of this British band from late '90s - early '00s called "Hood", playing sort-of alternative, sort-of shoegaze, sort-of post rock. Delicate yet moving!

I really love the guitar parts in this, so groovy.  Very much a listen to this on repeat while dancing through the kitchen with a mop handle song...ᕕ(⌐■_■)ᕗ ♪♬

Loss is never easy, but a sonic hug like this is always welcome.  Great overall sound and I like the whistling at the end.

What a gift The main drum beat is so cool, and the variations are well chosen to suit the song. Really enjoyed the melodies and vocal delivery. Foot is tapping away

Lovely song, makes me happy with good feels and smiles. Great use of the drum parts. I love my cats and dog. The gentlest of friends. This is a good warm hug, with and without socks. It's almost no sock weather, yay! And its always gentle friend weather!

I was gonna try and give some extensive musical comments but dang the lyrics got me in the feels real quick.  Scuse me while I look for tissues.  The quiet interlude with the casio is a nice touch too.  PS The Rutabega "Lip" played on my random list the other day when I was in the grocery store.  I was like "heyyyy i know that voice!
