The 1st change seems odd - mainly, I think, because the drum fill that might have introduced it comes two bars later & is repeated to intro the vocal.
The breath & ghost drum notes that fill the gap between the 2nd quiet section & final seem odd - not quite placed as FX.
The drums certainly keep a solid pulse through out though the bass is M.I.A. when things get thick.
Cosmic utterances in a very spacey/psych setting.
Nice lead work and the outro is particularly cool.

Very cool, Scott & Robert. I rather liked the abrupt change at 0:51 and other spots. Terrific instrumentation with a special nod to that wonder guitar work, Scott. So well mixed. Always the best lyrics, Robert, and, man, I really dig the Ai vidz.

Scott and Robert, this is a very interesting piece of music.
I really liked the changes and lyrics.
I would imagine this was very hard to mix; you did a fantastic job on that.
Good vocal and video also.
I really liked this one.

Surprising change of moods, in this one. Really like the slide work in the melody lines.
Your vocals sound like their is several people singing ...or is that AI? or a harmonizer?

As Ray said, “Cosmic utterances in a very spacey/psych setting.” The audio and the video are sort of other worldly and we could hear this in a sci-fi movie soundtrack. The juxtaposition of the unsettling feel of the slower tempo sections helped serve the lyric sadness well. Sounds like a world of vocal processing that is well beyond our comprehension paygrade.  Y’all are on a roll! J&B

Spirit Level,
Love the lyrics to this one . . . some incredible lines throughout . . . and that temp change after the opening verse . . . really well done. Fits right into the Spirit Level playbook. Good stuff!
My best to you all,

Scott and Robert, you made a very 'delicious' song and video.
In spite of the 'heavy' lyrics I enjoyed all.
Robert, the harmony in the vocals works very good. Do that more often!
And Scott, your guitar play in these songs is getting better and better.
While I thought you were already at the top, you have proven that there is much more to come.
Nice day,
Hans

You guys make a great team.
The lyrics are always deep and poetic and well delivered, and the music is always superb.
Same here!

So different than most of the music, challenges and rewards with a journey to a new part of our world.
The pretty video supports that journey, for example in "downward root upward eye" section and the boy on the beach in the end. Very good work with the AI tools!
Robert's vocal is haunting and together with the backing vocals and Scott's fills creates an ethereal mood.
I enjoyed the contrast between different tempo and style section.
And Robert's poetic lyrics are always pleasure to study, I like the writing from a child point of view,
"here`s a boy writing his religion/on pebbles tossed into the tide" -- so beautiful.

Nice lead work and the outro is particularly cool. Thanks Ray for checking out the songs. Thanks for the heads up on the bass. I use a floor sub when mixing and sometimes the bass can get pushed back. Check this out on some of our newer tunes coming out and will address that. Glad you liked the song. Very cool, Scott & Robert. I rather liked the abrupt change at 0:51 and other spots. Terrific instrumentation with a special nod to that wonder guitar work, Scott. So well mixed. Always the best lyrics, Robert, and, man, I really dig the Ai vidz. Thanks Marty. We certainly do appreciate you support hear and on Facebook and Youtube. Glad you liked the song. SL,
