Hi Torrey,

When I listened to your beautiful song, a few strange things happened in my head (nothing religious or anything like that);
I heard some harmonies I knew from your other songs. Not copied verbatim, but the atmosphere was the same. I loved that.
Those harmonies have always been your strong point! Especially in your choruses.

Yet, I find the melody of this song much more complex than those of your other songs. Is that nonsense? Not at all, but it was less easy to follow or understand.
And although I read what you wrote to Brain about this, I do agree with him that your very intense intro doesn't connect to the rest of the song.
When it played, I felt a special emotion that abruptly stopped at the beginning of the rest of the song. That was a strange experience, I must say.

But all in all, this song, with that special charge, is very beautiful. As beautiful as I've come to expect from you. Praise!

Hans
