Sometimes I come across a song that's so good I want it to be a lot longer (don't we all want it to be a lot longer, guys? What do you mean: speak for yourself?
) and this song when I heard it was one such. It's not so much the singing part as the guitar instrumental section, which takes up about ninety percent of the track, that really impressed me. I just find it so laidback and gentle, soothing and the kind of thing you can close your eyes and get lost in. It certainly serves as a way to demonstrate Arthur's prowess on the guitar.
Luckily for me, it doesn't just fade out after a few minutes; the whole track runs for over twelve, and even then it doesn't seem long enough, the kind of composition that could theoretically just go on and on. Do yourself a favour: listen to it, close your eyes and just drift away...
