This exceptional addition to Shaw's catalogue provides an ethereal, calming experience for the mind and ears. Both vocals and strings work together as if they are being played by the same human being - an expression of being itself.
This recording always haunts me. Especially at the end. There is a moment when it sounds like a microphone is being switched off - like the track was recorded in the wild, in nature. I create a different story every time I hear it.
This album is an honest narrative of a relationship soured by fame and fractured alliances. The haunting lyrics reminded me of failed romances and nostalgia for the struggle.
