Loved it.
Thanks You, Mario! Happy you can relate.

Lovely orchestration, campfire guitars and snapping create very tasteful ambience. Dave's guitar is a rock on which you can sit calmly and safely.

I enjoyed your expressive voice and how it sounds like it's merging with the talking creatures and the singing forest.

And the video is expressing the harmony perfectly, and the lovely birds animated so lively... reminding me how earlier this week I was browsing my phone outside and the bravest birds came to sit on the edge of the phone to see if I could offer them nuts - I knew they are used to begging for food from tourists, but still it felt like a touching moment smile Excuse me if I'm not around for a while, I might have jumped into your video laugh

EEEYYEP. We are on the same wavelength, Janne. I remember how you embraced the idea of my song Walking In The Garden and others. I knew you were sitting on the rock in front of me when I wrote this one.

Haha. You're excused, and do let it happen again. My guess is, although you fed those birds nothing for the bellies, they will be back to you for more of what you do offer.

The extraneous percussion replicated the critters and crackles of the wild really well.
Detailed, deliberate and the real deal.
Thanks, Ray. It was all deliberate. It starts out with a ton of reverb that slowly lifts to a point of normalcy when "all the chaos ceased." Reverb came back at the end when I say I may not ever stop. Glad it brought you closer like a whisper in a argument.

Enjoy whatever happens!
