Robert, what a beautiful song you wrote and sang for your wife.
Scott, loved that axe's tone, so pure and sweet
Great mix
A super song.

The music you folks make is always so ethereal, usually with a hint of mysticism. This is a perfect example.
Beautiful song and so nicely presented. Robert's unique vocals are always so great. And Scott's guitar work, as usual, is spot on.
Wishing his wife a wonderful birthday.
Nice work, gentlemen.

There are no lyrics like Robert's. Suggesting, never stating ... the meaning clear yet hidden. The singing, sensitive and vulnerable. The guitar by Scott matches perfectly. The video is so beautiful. Yes (as someone has already said): of such beauty, with a mystical quality to it. Then again, truth and love are beautiful, aren't they? i.e. the essence of mysticism, for someone like me at least.
In short: wow. You and your wife must both be so happy that you can create such a song, Robert. And Scott ... you're the icing on the cake, without that beautiful guitar, the song would not be complete, to my ears at least.
CONGRATULATIONS.

Think this is the most unique love song I think I've ever heard. Very mind bending, yet tender and quite touching. Super vocals that remind me of early Neil Young. The lead guitar is where it should be and supports the song perfectly with superb tone, touch and vibrato. Really like that bass, it has a slow burning drive that works well hear. Nice band, mix and master. Great job, guys!

I am always prepared to hear something unusual from you guys, and even with a love song you don't disappoint. I could never come up with something like this. Amazing ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

Your music is always interesting. This kinda reminded me of the best poetry music of the 60s.... From the Greenwich village coffee shops.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Pure Spirit Level. Beautifully written, Robert. Man, I really enjoy the vocals with such good harmony. You'd know my favorite part is that fretless. Man, I'm gonna have to get mine back from my son. The video is also one of your best. Inspiring. Love that sound on your guitar, Scott, and your taste always fits so well.

Hi, Scott. From the opening fretless bass line and the lyrics: Naturally/Like the hexagon for the bee...it was clear this wasn't going to be a typical love song.  I enjoyed listening.

What a sweet song and video y’all have created.
And we are sure that Robert’s wife will always treasure it.
Scott, your guitar, the BiaB tracks and your production certainly accent the “pure” quality of the song.
The fretless bass and congas are especially nice.
The mix sounds great on the monitors.
Lovely!

Scott and Robert,
It's a very beautiful song.
Only Robert could write lyrics like this.
Only Robert could sing it like this.
Only Scott could play backing guitar like this.
The video also supports the song well.
This is a unique and wonderful piece that can only be expressed by Spirit Level.
Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.
Best regards.
