I didn't give my thoughts on this way back when. I guess I wasn't sure what to say. Way back when, I honestly didn't like this song too much, but I don't think that was due to an issue with you personally or the song itself. I've thought about it for a long time ever since then, and eventually it grew on me over time. These days, I cherish this song of yours as dearly as the new one you gave me for my birthday this year. It's a beautiful song that keeps my head and heart in the right place.

My idea is that I wasn't fond of the song, because I wasn't fond of myself, which is what this song was for. These days, that's not the case any longer.

We've come a long way, huh?

You made my day with this gift. Thank you so much!!

The screeches of the sorrowful loon flawlessly flow with the beautiful, yet gentle song, creating something almost bittersweet.

One thing I can picture is a peaceful river in the middle of a forest, glimmering from dappled sunlight shed from above. The loon dreadfully cries out nearby, but standing alongside that river, there is a constant warm glow and peace within me, assuring that although suffering and death is inevitable and possibly looming close by, everything will be okay in the end once all is said and done, one way or another. As the river constantly naturally flows, so do those in the cycle of life. One day, I'll draw my last breath, but I'm learning to accept such a thing and make peace with what joy I'm given.

Also, somehow, you naturally knew to slip in a few rain bombs... which are one of my favorite elements from your music overall (Watching The World Wash Away will always be a special one to me), as well as other instrumentation that I am very fond of, which I hear faintly in here.

I can genuinely hear and feel deep emotions packed into this one. Your warm, gentle love is crystal clear here. ❤

Anywho, yeah, this is... very touching, and stirred up a surreal emotional experience and thought process for me. Just a lil' note to remind you of one of many reasons why I love you. :)

This is very pretty!! I love the colors. Almost looks like the inside of a gemstone. It's simple, but stunning nonetheless.
