Well, that song title is perfect for your whole collection of material, Carl. This is so beautiful, and so beautifully played. I like the subtle strings that add so much goodness surrounding your wonderful guitar played like sweet butter. My eyes always naturally close when hearing your tunes, Carl. Eyes are not necessary because the music provides the beauty.

Carl,
So many good sections of this piece that wander outside the diatonic. I love it.

Hi, Carl.
First of all, lovely playing.
Interesting progression as well - even my tone-deaf could hear some smooth moves outside the key.
I very much enjoyed listening. 😊

So tranquil and lovely. I esp liked the gentle glissando’s and the quarter-note plucked chords. And your handling of the piano and cello elements is superb. Very much enjoyed my listen!!

This time when I was listening I was watching WildEarth on TV (my go to channel when I want the company of pure nature in my living room) and the visuals were of a beautiful African veldt sunset with footage of zebras, lionesses and leopards all taking it easy in long creases, plus parrots in trees and big wading birds at a waterhole. Your music was again perfect for it all. WildEarth is a 24/7 South African TV channel with live camera-safari footage and educational narration by the jeep drivers. It's interactive and so you get mostly kids from various parts of the world texting in questions - it's available on YouTube - the drivers answering, but at other times they just show non-stop footage from various reserves and always have low volume music soundtracks along with all of the natural sounds. Your music is exactly the right pace for it. Some months ago I considered offering them any of my instrumentals for free, but even my slower material is really too eventful, while yours would be perfect as it's so relaxing.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Haven't come across WildEarth Chay - will check it out,
you do paint a wonderful picture of nature in S. Africa!
Thanks a lot for 'matching' my music to those visuals -
I never connected my music & music making with
anything other than internal feelings & emotions,
appreciate your comments and observations!!
Best, Carl

Carl, this is a masterpiece.
As usual great guitar chops. You backing tracks really augment your beautiful playing. Outstanding instrumentation and arrangement.
IMHO your best to date.
Loved it.
