Unreal. Love the ovation/chorus 90s guitar. Felt it coming out of the cosmic cd player we are gathering around these days.

He was transformed into light truly. This is a heartbreakingly hopefully beautiful co-creation - something I can feel was pulled through you as a gift from Seamus. I don't have words. I'm grateful that you recorded this as it came through. And thank you for sharing. Sending love.

I wasn't sure I had words either. I guess I had some, though I think what I really mean is they just aren't/can't ever be adequate. But still they're important to release. Thanks for listening Juliet. Sending love to you too!

Thanks for including the song, I was wondering what it would sound like as I was reading. Had a good cry here with my morning coffee, grateful for you sharing your story and parts of your grieving process.

This is a wonderful, spooky, gorgeous story and the song is beautiful.

(Nice that you were visiting John Martyn when Seamus came to visit you.)

Your account of the wind is translucent - I felt it.
