Jesse, My first reaction when I opened this post was visual. “I know this place!” Sure enough Joshua Tree. It’s a subtle, understated magic that occurs there. And when I listened I recognized the suggestions that took root for you. My chopped up version of thoughts I sent to you turned into fluid music. I love the way you carved out a big space in the middle for just the bass, the drums. and your vocal. It really sounds wide and compelling with the synth/keys off to the edges, like the sky and the horizon out that-a-ways. Mid-Side thinking or processing?? Beyond happy, I’m proud to have helped you, in a small way, to have birthed this baby. I was there for my son’s birth too. Fortunately he did not arrive in a hoodie and a big old beard. 🙂 For your viewing entertainment, there’s a couple of my favorite photos from the visit to the park. Like I said, understated magic happens there if you just tune into it. PT
