Thinly veiled metaphors that tell of the human condition, in all its rawness. "The stars don't take sides". Indeed - perhaps (perhaps) that's the tragedy of it all - that they don't. The slowing down at the end is magical.

Humblest and sincerest CONGRATULATIONS to all of you.


Thanks James for the wonderful comments. Really appreciate you checking out the song.

Love this. You guys make some really innovative music. Great song and production. Love Scott's guitar!

Robert's vocal has a touch of Robert Plant's quiet side - very nice!

Scott, that guitar tone really grabs me --very powerful and tasty. Robert, no one writes lyrics as well as you do, and your vocal is always enjoyable. That's the Spirit.


Thanks Marty. Yes you got a prerelease listen from my Facebook page :-)

No that is not me playing the sitar. I remember when I was a youngster Coral put out and electric guitar/sitar. I think it was to emulate the George Harrison vibe that was happening at the time. Really glad you liked the song.
