a slow-burner, this is.. and a gorgeous one, too..
there's something magnetic about the sounds here.. the opening is pure mood, diving into the wilderness, into a "forgotten West" vibe, with its "aahhhs" and riffs.. then Whitford breaks into "these hands / like strangers in the wind".. so yearning, yet forlorn.. and the synth beats with the stadium-like dazzle of the interlude.. not since "The Past and Pending" have i heard such a fireside combination..
