Very atmospheric. Love the echoing guitar (been kind of addicted to that sound since I bought Calexico's second album, the Black Light, back in 1998). Excellent mix and vocal.
Regards,
Leon Thanks Leo, I just checked out Calexico's Black Light....I dig it, Thanks for that!

The guitar in the intro hooked me right in.
Sounds a unique hybrid between the Doors and Sixto Rodriguez.
Vocal is perfectly delivered. Mix is spot on.
Again, that guitar...love that sound!

Captain, I like your approach to the production and arrangement on this one! The minimal instrumentation really let's this song breathe! Great vocals to go with a great song! Take care, T

A languid vocal to match the lyrics. Nothing new to add that others haven't already said. Engaging track, good vocal, evocative soundscape. Enjoyed the listen!  David, Thanks for the glowing commentary. moto

This type of minor blues arrangement always sets up nicely for some good soloing. And you delivered. The guitars sound great and the vocal is perfect for the mood. Well done, Tom

Very cinematic in a mysterious and ethereal manner.
This would be a great ending credits song for a tv series.
"the golden glow of day break, brings the morning light
To wash away the shadows and the dreams she had last night"
Nice line of many.
We love open airy mixes and this is a fine one. Yeah, less is often more but it takes a good ear and some skill to pull it off. You established a nice soundstage...sounds great on the KRK's.
Your vocal and guitar performances are both well done and arranged.

Hi CaptainMoto
A wonderful vibe, with so many fine details
The song, your performence, the tremolando solo, the choir and that simple bass to die for.
Very well done

Captain,
A beautifully restrained arrangement which serves the song`s mood well.
Your guitar tone is so good here.
Vocals have a nice relaxed feel.
The lyrics drew me in... and perhaps left me wanting a little more sensuality ( thinking of my own erotic dreams no doubt!).
Robert

Hi Cap'n,
A very compelling track.
Loved it from the first sliding-in guitar notes - the intro sounded very Peter Green.
All very nicely put together and excellent lyrics which which left just enough room
for the listener to interpret the meaning for themselves.
Excellent.
ROG.

Your opening is captivating! Brilliantly executed. Wonderful composition and instrument choices.
A sweet moody mystical ride!
And I'm a fan of the lyrics. I had to listen again because they snuck up on me.
Great song!

Cap'n ... Janice and Bud beat me to the word that came to mind after 20 or 30 seconds of listening: ethereal. Everything about this simple shines. Wonderful lyric to a delicious soundstage. It's my favorite from you, of the ones I heard. It reminds me of something Chris Isaak might have recorded. Really good stuff! Take care ... Alan
