A really beautiful song here, I think it captures what Fullbright is trying to say in a really
understated yet meaningful way.
This is my version, not intended as an exact copy. The album version is of course piano.
As always, Fullbright delivers his usual heartfelt and seemingly devotional accompaniment. Enjoy.
