Lovely easy guitar sound too, guiding us home on the trade winds to the end. 2022-02-28T09:04:52Z Comment by 8000 Miles Great storytelling. Old soul ways. Beautiful touch on the strings. Nice sensitivity as to where the capo is placed — this one on the 3rd fret has a relaxed-with-heightened-awareness feeling in its space. ⁓Rebecca 2022-02-25T23:33:04Z Comment by English Minor So what is that precussional/shaker type sound? Is that played or midi? It's really cool and is so important to the song, I think. Nice work. :) 2022-02-25T01:35:03Z Comment by English Minor You write and record some of the best songs on sc.
