i moved into a new apartment recently. my old room did not have windows so i never wanted to spend time there (shoutout new york city). my new room does have windows and its incredibly spacious. it felt incredible to have space to myself for the first time in months

this song captures that feeling for me - the peaceful feeling of having space thats just for you, your own sanctuary

the lead guitar line here is so beautiful. the attack softened into nothingness with a volume swell, the bend (or maybe it's played with a slide?) sounds like something Derek Trucks would play, especially with the vibrato. simply incredible

incredibly beautiful, feels like an entire field of guitars blossoming in and out of existence around you. very atmospheric, but with a jazz/rnb twist
