I'm enjoying both versions of this, man. Great song and excellent production work!

Fine reflective song - loving the production with that chiming sound (synth?) flowing along in and around the music

this is fantastic, top quality vocals and love the math rock drums and shimmering dreamy indie guitars, sounding really good!

I prefer this version, harder to categorize, further away from 'catchable', more peculiar, like that. Well done.

love this version, the elemental lyrical style with the flowing drums behind it.

I really hope someone besides me understands,\ Grant's ability to make simple chord progressions complex as well as me someday. This is so gooooood.

Pretty cool. Dreamy and great guitar work. Atmospheric. I kind of get the feeling the guitar is doing whatever it wants, no player behind it. It's just floating all over, a kind fo spirit, and the drums are trying to clap it back down, bring it nearer.

The thing with pop music is, it either works or it doesn't - and this does!

Jon thought this version was too complex for the simplistic nature of the song.  I wanted to share this though, since I think it gives the song a much different vibe.

I'm in the process of renovating/updating various aspects of my studio, adding new hardware/software. New music on the way.

I'm a believer in true social interaction on SC, having intelligent dialogue with artists, and giving personal feedback that is (hopefully) more inspired than "Nice."  There are a lot of decent artists here not attempting to "go viral", sharing great music that deserves to be heard and not drowned out by bots.  Encouragement/criticism promotes growth, so say something worth something.
