Spirit Level...
The experimentation is working! A great "Indie" sound. Very original.
Nice guitar touches, Scott.
Robert, an impassioned vocal. Good write. The various "drawing" elements are each well done.
Good mix. A very cool sound - has an haunting smoothness...
I like it.

Scott and Robert:
Yeah, everything here is working well for me. Like those high, dreamy guitar licks throughout as well as the production work not the lead—nice width, use of panning on this as well. A really strong vocal from Robert. All very cool.
My best to you both,
Deej

fj Thanks Floyd. I also think that Robert did an awesome vocal on this. There is a very cool story in the lyric and he brought that out in his vocal. Thanks for the comments on the mix. I have been doing a very deep dive on the mixing and mastering process. Have allot to learn. Glad you liked the song

Nice one guys! Excellent vocal from Robert, maybe his best yet. And cool guitar work from you, Scott. You definitely have your own style, and that is a good thing  Cool lyrics, I like the whole "draw me" theme. Excellent song, loved it.

Spirit Level Project done it again!
A nice exploration of styles and sounds. I am glad that you are not adhering to particular genre, which leaves a lot of creative headroom.
Listens very well. Robert's voice a bit angrier in places than usual and that works! I like how Scott's guitar cuts through the mix. Congrats to both of you and thank you for sharing.
Misha.
P.S. Cool picture for the tune

Ethereal in write and sound. Cinematic even.
Those last few lines really leave one wondering...Lots of dots to connect. We like that!
Very well sung and played. Nice complementary thing going there.
Thanks for providing all the track info and your instrument setup, etc.
You two have a good thing going!

"...keep my hand in the flame
`til I believe grace and disgrace
are one and the same..."
This song is so intimate I'm a little embarrassed listening. Love the layers in the band covering the sonics and "thickness" with Scott's high lines bringing it all together. A pleasure listening.

Thanks for listens and positive comments to all listeners.
"Robert will add how the lyrics were inspired"....ok, Scotty, but I don`t believe in inspiration!
I set myself a challenge to write a simple, repetitive rocker from the title phrase- that`s it really.
More of the normal Spirit Level strange coming up next.

Robert & Scott ...
Definitely and Indie sound and, as Janice & Bud mentioned, very ethereal. The mix seems spot on to my ears. I enjoyed the song a lot! Really nice work, my friends!
Best to you and be safe ...

Roberts chord selections give me a pretty wide scope to play with. The bass lines and his vocal are very inspirational when searching for a melody.

Love when RKC gets a little grit going vocally. Great lyrics, working at a very high level. Hard to do better than this. As always, I'm a big fan.

I really like your unique style, celtic-inspired folk rock is close to my heart (this ones reminded me of The Waterboys although I haven't much listened to their music). Some psychedelic elements like from the early 70's, enjoyable chording once again, Scott painting the sky and Robert the Earth. Strong vocals. Nice title leads to challenging lyrical imagery. Straightforward with enjoyable hooks, showing your great talent. I think there are some realtracks missing from the RT list, at least organ and vocal ones  Janne

Hi Scott and Robert,
Ethereal, that word came up in my head when listening to this beautful song.
I liked a lot of what happened in the song, but I pick out the leadguitar (the Les Paul?) following the vocals with subtle tones. Nicely done.
Of course Roberts' vocals and lyrics need no more compliments. They are always very good. Although in this song even better...!
So well done again, you two!
Hans

Psych Western...
I enjoyed it.
A narrative as film script, a guitar as lightning rod..all cool and well balanced
There're a few spots of particular aggression veering into clipping on the vocal that a faster compressor setting may mellow or a touch here and there of PREFX volume automation could resolve, (pre becasue the reverb etc may be part of the issue in they way they react to the transient).
Cheers
