    Every now and again I’ll wake up with the most beautiful melody rolling around in my ears and think excitedly to myself, “what a beautiful song this could be!” And a few minutes into fleshing it out on guitar or bass I realize I just woke up with Meditation stuck in my head.
    This song is a dream, thank you for sharing it with us all.
