A recent find for me. The musical colours and tones in this piece are a wonder to behold. The double bass sound is a piece of magic just by itself. Just beautiful, and of course the voice.

My peers would have not approved.

| When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse, out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look but it was gone. I cannot put my finger on it now. The child has grown, the dream is gone.
Lyrics from “Comfortably numb” |
Who knows where the time goes?
More reflective music, seemingly a lost art now.
Lost in Bristol

In the city centre I caught a little glimpse of the possibility.
