Brilliant production again! Love the backing vocals and solo. When I first saw the title my robot mind automatically read "Sailing Through the Red" as it's the title of a poem I wrote in the early 70s. It inspired a friend to create a single acoustic guitar instrumental, which I just played lead to. I still have it on tape, but it's very poor quality sound. Anyway, love the song!

I recently wrote on a couple of new forum posts with YT links that my YT comments had vanished, so for some reason I now have to log-in to YT in order to see them when previously I could always see them when clicking the YT links here. I now recall that I wrote on one of your YT posts - either this one or the previous one - that your music and lyrics reminded of 2 of my favourite Japanese poems, which I wrote that I'd post here, so here they are!

Studying texts and stiff meditation
Can make you lose your Original Mind.
A solitary tune by a fisherman, though,
Can be an invaluable treasure.
Ikkyu (1394-1481)

Too lazy to be ambitious
I let the world take care of itself.
Ten days worth of rice in my bag;
A bundle of twigs by the fireplace.
Why chatter about delusion and enlightenment?
Listening to the night rain on my roof
I sit comfortably with both legs stretched out.
Ryokan (1758-1831)
