I like this song. It feels very 70s rock in a good way.

The rawness of the vocals is perfect for the raw emotion the controlled uncontrollable, the uncontainable used for higher purposes. I love the poetry of this. We often decide in the dark

Gah, that picture reminds me of being on vacation in Mexico and getting to descend into a cenote. It was pretty amazing, but it was also the most terrified I've ever been in my life. Like, unreasonable amounts of fear. You know they're supposed to be passages to the underworld? Anyway. Yeah, I'm liking the simplicity here. And no plectrum!!! Nicely done.

But those many takes resulted in an awesome take, so maybe they were simply the "practice" you and I have no patience for? 😀 I "practiced" too for my last one, and it was frustrating. 😆 You need to rest a little and then come back to this. Then you'll realize it is really sweet.

Really liked it, agree with your coda statement, like it could be a final epilogue track to a larger work, almost like a leave taking.

So contemplative and calming! Love that steady rhythm guiding us through. Your vocals soar! Those lyrics, "Simplify your expectations for the benefit of the mundane", hit really hard. Great work here!

See You In The Shadows...
