Excellent ! You certainly have skills in all facets of music! I love the acoustic guitar at 2:58 , it was perfect and unexpected. I liked it all but that was just so darn tasteful.

A nice way to start this beautiful Saturday morning.

As usual, Dan, your mixes have what I like to hear; depth, clarity, a wide stereo spread, and excellent musicianship. They're never overcompressed which makes them breathe and don't cause ear fatigue. The arrangement is super, and the melody is sublime. The music lessons are paying off ;).

This was excellent Dan and has a lot of play along possibilities for guitar players. Nice ethereal sound start to finish and it does seem to fit the title you gave it. Everything flows and fits together very nicely. Enjoyed this one a lot.

Yup, ya got another winner! Nothing to add to the mix comments above - it just flat out works. OK, OK.. the drums are really fat.  Composition-wise everything fits together very nicely. Vocals would be cool though... perhaps you could get Jon Anderson to sing this one for you?
