This is a nice low key song. I love the vocals and the harmony. Nothing else much to say about it… other than it’s somewhat unusual for Van Canto to use this much instrumentation. When to Listen:  Use this song to wind down. When you’re finishing up your writing or at the end of your story, this is the song to listen to. Readers, … Read More From My Writing Playlist
