There's a really great, almost psychediic vibe to the instrumentation on this one. Nice!

Fantastic production. The acoustic guitar sounds great. The vocals suit the song really well. A ten out of ten track, I like the approach you took. Very good, J.J. and company.

Super strings man. Great track ✌🏻🔆

fantastic impassioned vocals from The Beautiful Dark, totally captivating collaboration from you all, real majestic intricate layered sound, love hearing you all work together!

Love your strings, J.J. 😍 Adds a dreamy layer to this beautiful collab 🫶👏✨✌️🌻

Hey JJ. Amazing stuff 🌟 I’m absolutely loving this one, my friends! Great flow and folk spirit with psychedelic vibes! Your creative additions make me feel happy, brother! Love everything about this song! Perfectly written and executed! Biggest Congrats, guys! 😎👌

Hey JJ man, sorry it took me so long to get to your page here. Love your playing in here. Your strings are what I find my ear drawn to the whole way through. So, once again, congrats on keeping my attention through the whole song. Your part may be my favorite, even with Ken's awesome drumming and Bill's phenomenal guitaring. Hey brother man, you know it and I know it, but I'm going to say it anyway. Always a hoot, bro!

The musical highlight of the week is on my screen. All I have to do is turn on the mixer and your magical sounds will fill the speakers. As usual, I won't have to adjust the sliders much because the work is so well done. Okay, I'm ready. Are you ready, guys? Play, friends. I'm listening. 👏💥

This song started as an idea Bill came up with on his acoustic guitar. Having found each other on the Cloud and enjoying each other's music, Josh and Bill decided to do a collab. Bill is a real deal guitarist, who's as prolific as he is skilled. Of course, Josh invited Eclectic Collective to the party, too.
  Shortly after doing so, he laid down a bass part to Bill's skeleton withi his four string fretless bass. Ken followed suit, and after a back and forth, completed the rhythms secion. JJ dug in next, adding the thrilling strings that highlight the high points of the melody. 
  There wasn't a whole lot of room for everyone on this, though, as Bill had the guitar parts nailed down tight. However, after sitting on the shelf for about half a year, Carl came along and added the missing piece with his raucuos vocals. Stephen also fattened up the sound a bit with his acoustic rhythm guitar.  
  Once it was in the can, we asked Stephen to work his production, mix, and mastering magic on it, too, which he came through with, as always.
  This brilliant song almost didn't see the light of day. It sat for what felt like forever, until we decided to revive it. This will not be the last collab we do with Bill, though, who was generous in not only sharing his music with us, but allowing us to do whatever we wanted with it, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
