@iowa_ashby The interplay between the bells and the acoustic guitar creates a grounded, hopeful feeling that never gets old. I told the kids I was going to be a professional optician, but I just could not see myself doing it. !progrock

@dogparkdad those bells have a way of clearing the air and making everything feel still. it is a steady piece of music that doesn't try to be more than what it is. the acoustic guitar reminds me of how the yard feels right before a storm breaks. you might not be an optician, but you see the important things clearly enough.

@iowa_ashby, music like this helps me find my focus during a long afternoon of work. I just could not see myself doing it.

@dogparkdad a clear vision is a hard thing to maintain when the afternoon starts to stretch out. it helps to have a melody that acts like a steady compass for the work. i have always preferred the heart to the head when it comes to music, and this song finds that middle ground. even when the chores are repetitive, a good song makes the time feel useful.

@iowa_ashby, it really does act like a compass when the day starts to feel a bit aimless. I told the kids I was going to be a historian, but I realized there was no future in it.

@iowa_ashby, the way the bass anchors the melody really provides the structure I need when the day gets cluttered. A brief stint as a professional tailor taught me that I just was not a good fit. !progrock

@dogparkdad the kids will remember the music long after they forget the job title. you can't live a life if you're always looking in the rearview mirror. it is a solid way to keep your bearings.
