Sheesh... Ludovico Einaudi, Teodor Wolgers and now this.  If I was meditating it might be good, but I'm nodding off at my desk!  Play some 'wake me up' music please!

WOW, there's been some very dull music of late on RP. Is Bill going through some sort of spiritual transformation. This is dull as!!! Get your act together Bill, snap out of it

Heard a couple of track here on RP - and have now got the album on my buy list!
Some negativity in the thread - but on 1st hearing with headphones on, this is a beautifully crafted piece and NOT background fluff. I can understand the comments - but am liking this big-time!!

Not super thrilled about this song, but this is why I listen to RP. You won't hear this anywhere else in the universe.

I can imagine Radiohead doing a cover of this.

Grumpy Cat died today.  This will do for a eulogy.

This song is just tolerable enough to wait and see what the next song is before changing stations

I tend to like slow songs, but this is dull and depressing! Soooo boring...

The bells and the strings are a very pleasing blend.

Uh oh. The past 2 songs are telling me to switch the channel.

Upon a first listen, I like this song's poetic structure. Very simple and gentle with tinkling bells on one end and the low strings on the other. Then the violin interlude comes to express. There's something very "high school assembly concert" about this song which I can relate to.

I like it - nice to hear cello once in a while - or is that bowed upright?

Appreciation/enjoyment varies by mood of (at least this) listener. Quite dependent on that.

I thought the harmonies were quite nice...and I also enjoyed the strings. A six.

Based on this tepid, listless number, better if they'd remained in the grotto. The instrumentation tries to be interesting, and even approaches it sometmes, but the problem for me is the wispy, nearly characterless vocals.
