This one blew me away, so I had to leaf a comment. tongue
Seriously though, this is beautiful. Have a great time with your upcoming concert!

I wish I was closer, I'd come see you! Have a great time! Nice little track, love the smooth brass.

I can't beleaf it!

That pink tie with the black lightning! Such a powerful image! I like the whole setup to capture a beautiful image, with the leaf blower and the dead leaves. This requires planning, dedication and a lot of cooperation from Frank. Good teamwork, guys!

A moody track with a sad undertone, as can be read in your upside down note. I hope everything is good for you and best of luck for the gig! Work on your cardio and dance moves!

I really like this. It's a snippet of memories and feelings and things both said and unsaid.

There is only one valid use for leaf blowers.

super pretty. it's kind of surreal how gently you're strumming.

Touching and surprisingly dark (I heard the music first, and the video's only bit of written language -- not the words but the feeling -- was in music all along). Really like this one, though.

I really enjoy this, the guitar tone seems to fit perfectly with the theme, really well produced! Blow them away at the gig!

this was dark and night and had soul. thanks for the upload.

This feels so grand, so ethereal, well done
- Ebrit

Really creates a mood.  The trumpets sound great as always.  Good luck on the show!  I wish we could arrange a WB concert sometime, but it would be difficult with everyone scattered all over the globe.

This has more of those Kaki King vibes! You gotta check out her stuff if you haven't already! "First Brain" demonstrates this particular vibe but she also does fun electronic songs like "Gay Sons of Lesbian Mothers". She's a huge inspiration/influence of mine. Also the video is a good fit, I love those night time shots you've done a few times now.

This is really beautiful. Great work.

frank is the best fx crew ever...

the trumpet is so very dreamy

“No one should deny the danger of the descent, but it can be risked. No one need risk it, but it is certain that someone will. And let those who go down the sunset way do so with open eyes, for it is a sacrifice which daunts even the gods. Yet every descent is followed by an ascent; the vanishing shapes are shaped anew, and a truth is valid in the end only if it suffers change and bears new witness in new images, in new tongues, like a new wine that is put into new bottles.”
― Carl Jung

Wow, is that layers of trumpet? A powerful combo with those sustained notes over the guitar. The video has a great feel to it like an old super 8 home movie. Perfect for the mood of the song.  Good luck with the show!

Really calming feels with the guitar strumming and somber trumpet.  Excellent work!

Love the dark sombre vibe here yet quite lovely at the same time.  Cool vid too!

Beautiful track, that trumpet is sublime with the guitar, who had to re-rake the leaves?

For everyone’s reference, this footage is the behind-the-scenes from the making of this video, back in 2019:

Thanks for watching as always!  I’m catching up on late replies and listens (as always)

Thank you!  Maybe a WB livestream show where everyone sends a live performance recording and we put them all together!
