This is my favorite track from an AMAZING album by three accomplished musicians. It's not a very complex song, but I find it, just.. sublime.

I highly recommend checking out/buying the entire album, Uncommon Ritual. Other songs I love from this work include: Uncommon Ritual, Child's Play, Big Country, Seesaw, and In The Garden.
