She Wanted To Go To Film School

I'm in an ambient mood this week. But if you stick around, there are some drums!

Gorgeous. The long but restrained reverb on the guitar strums at the outset is in my sweet spot. It's a nice journey to hear this thing progress and melt from there into a crescendo at the mid point. Then it takes a breath to regroup,
and evolves after that into the happy finale. Loving all the changes in that back half too. Great songwriting. 

Oh that first chord and the lush delay/reverb instantly hooked me. And then there was MORE!! Everything is designed for satisfaction - the chord changes, the swell in the middle, the distant strings, doubling the frequency of the changes... This song relaxes me and makes me happy.

What a journey! Really wasn’t expecting anything other than the initial picture evolving a bit and then it ending. But then you went and took us all kinds of places. Happy to have heard this!

Love the ambient jourey. Would love to add vocals to this. Great job!

lovely listen!

What an amazing journey. Wasn’t expecting that ending, wonderfully poppy and jangly….and apparently in 5:4. Awesome.
