We enjoyed the textured arrangement to the rich imagery of the lyric.
It all had a dream like quality that stayed in our heads. smile

Those counterpoint harmonies sounded great with your lead, Robert.

Excellent band, mix and performance, Scott, and we were getting a Jefferson Airplane vibe, which is a good thing!

Way cool!

Thanks very much for those kind comments, J&B!
I`m pleased you thought those harmonies worked. Airplane? I`ve often tried for that sound though I heard more of a Neil Young vibe on this.

Interesting, and not too far out there.

Cool stuff to hear in this song - especially the harmonies on the chorus!


Thank you for listening and commenting, David!

I like to read your lyrics before listening and let them stand on their own merit without the music. Chorus stands out.


Scott,
Though we are familiar with each others tastes now, I`m still surprised Scott goes with the "other worldly" songs I throw at him. Many thanks for your kind comments.

Great job.


Thank you!

But a superb first impression, despite my philistine-like mind ... as I said, the subconscious is responding, without the conscious knowing why. From a musical standpoint, a gigantic, immensely successful effort. BRAVI, Spirit Level!!!


James,
If you listen again,pay no attention to the ghostly woman in the picture;she is young and the lyrics were intended to be about a young man leaving peaceful isolation with his mother to see the world.... I think listeners like songs with room to interpret, but maybe my explanation helps take out some of the blur.
Thank you for your very kind review!
