I always have this song on my playlist. It's been that way for almost two years- the song is that good. It never stops to amaze me that the song's structural complexity and overlapping phrasing fit together in a way that's so easy to listen to. The beginning is what? Water? A camera? And then come layers of parts and instruments by measures, building the music until by the time a drum rhythm is added, you think you've got it and the backbone of the song is firmly established. Then a deep bass line and a high jingle both kick in and open the song across the acoustic spectrum. From there you are treated to instrumental music with a beautifully balanced mixture of electronic and acoustic instruments, melody and counter melody, rhythm and arpeggios. Schnauss' drum part is unusual, unique and fascinating; but it hooks you, holds you, and moves you. Listen deeply to the music, there's a lot of creativity here. It never gets old.

Close your eyes, take deep, controlled breaths, and let this creation of art carry, fly, and soar your soul through your dreams...

Whether you travel with a lover or with yourself, this music guides you across only the most pleasant destinations.

That's the best I can do to describe this song. This ancient poem by Rumi also comes to mind:

Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a field. I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase 'each other' doesn't make any sense.

This song takes me there.
