Not really that different, a classic blues ballad in your recognizable style. Lovely intro, enjoyable minor chording with some intriguing melodic elements. I really like the imagery in the lyrics, beautiful awe of the universe and (positive) melancholy in the smallness of a man. Guitars are once again very atmospheric and Chris's vocals never fail to amaze. So many top quality songs on this forum lately and this is one of the best.
Janne Thanks for the support, Janne, it is appreciated!

This is one heck of a song from both of you...
I enjoyed it immensely...
I especially liked the imagery created by the lyrics...
★★★★★ Happy you liked this one, Jim! Yes, Chris did a nice job with the write on this one. Something s little different!

What a wonderful track!
I love the song, the instrumentation and the mixing, which is outstanding good.
I am on my third listen now... you just made my day so much better!

Oh yeah...we are all space dust....
Chris has a real talent obviously vocally but also for packing so much
into relatively sparse lyrics. She says it all w/o overstating the theme
with a lot of redundancy. And her phrasing makes it all even sweeter.
Makes you want to come back again...
Your guitar is sublime...Janice commented during your solo on the
video about how the water seemed to be moving with your notes.
Pro level production all the way. Everything, and I don't say this
lightly, sounds wonderful on the KRK's. Rich and velvety as
Janice said.
Over the top of that bar y'all keep raising.
J&B
Thanks very much Janice and Bud! I always enjoy reading your comments, and so does Chris

Dave, this song is VIBE brother! It's just sooooo cool. I may be way off with this; but to me, this almost seems like it could be a Sade song. Smoooooth.
I would mention all of the typical things; but am I allowed to just say I have all of those bases more than covered?
Keep THESE coming! They are a treat to listen to.
Chad (Hope that makes it easier)

Hi Dave and Chris, This is...  With each new song that you two do, the bar just gets higher and higher and higher! The guitar work and the production sizzle and Chris's writing and singing is nothing short of 'top notch and then some'. You have really settled into your respective strengths and compliment one another so very, very well. For me, the presentation of this song is like teamwork on steroids! Everything, absolutely everything is exactly right! What a listen! Noel

I love this. I love the whole feel of this song. It's one of my favorites that you have posted. As others have stated, the intro is magnificent: It's one of those musical pieces that one can listen to over and over, let oneself be immersed in it, and never grow tired of it. The vocals could not be done any better. Thanks for the listen and comment, it is appreciated!

Man,
This is great Dave. I loved it.
The music is kinda Santana (early) but the overall production with Chris's vocals reminds me of a famous song from the 70s but I can't place it. It is driving me crazy!
Well, maybe I will remember.
Anyway, this is awesome!!
Hey David, great to see you! It's been *way* too long since you have posted a song, you have been missed around here.

Love that intro. Your guitar work, as always, is impeccable. The sound you get and the notes you play always sound so fresh and original.
Chris's vocal as usual is spot on. Her understated style fits the song perfectly.
The quality of your production is something I aspire to.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
Mike Thanks, Mike! Guitar tone and production are two things I spend a lot of time on, so I appreciate those comments
