Scott, wow, you and Robert are really putting out some cool music that sounds wholly original (to me). You definitely have a stylistic thread that holds all of these tunes together. Anyway, "otherworldly" is first adjective that comes to mind for this one. The floating arrangement and dreamy vocals set the tone, and your guitar fills are tasteful and sound SO nice. Must have been a nice birthday present!

Scott / Robert,
This song is beautiful - absolutely mesmerizing. The vocal is superb, as is the video and production.

Wow you two! This is just a stunningly beautiful song.
A gorgeous production all the way around, loved everything about it. What a great song for a wife on her birthday.
Hey, how did you guys do that video? What program did you use to generate all that?
Very cool work!

A proper, proper LOVE song. What am I to add to that? Robert being Robert, a genius of sensitivity, expression and musicality. You want to hear a piece of music that will invariably make you shiver and wonder at how such untouchable, un-namable beauty is possible, you go listen to something that Robert wrote. This whole Spirit Level production is beyond stunning, for me at the very least. Keep writing, Robert, please ... the term of "genius" fits very few people in this world, you are one of those rare people. Bravi.

Nice mix.

Hi, Robert (& Company). Nice song - major 7th goodness and a heartfelt vocal. The video does a good job clarifying any confusion I had over the lyrics. Nice work on everything.

What a lovely sentiment and song that is to lift the level of our spirits!
Robert’s vocal and your guitar beautifully support the ethereal feel.
The video is enjoyable - beautiful scenery and a great photo of Robert and his lovely wife.
We enjoyed it all and appreciate the effort put into the production … audio and video.
Great work you two!

Gently soothing song and concept. Lovely production and flow. With or without the video it's very relaxing.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Hi Scott and Robert,
What a nice birthday present for your wife, Robert.
This is so your Spirit Level style, I think only you can do.
I enjoyed it all. And, lucky me had to see/hear it twice, because the lyrics were on your post and not on YT.
My birthday is a bit away, so you have the time to surprise me too! ;-))
