I'm amazed how well all these instrumentalists play as one, yet each is individual. I salute you and Ben's music.
Beautiful
The iteration of "the autonomic system" doesn't lend itself to sweet jazz! The female voice would be better used tweeting like a bird. That said, there is a beautiful underlining melody in the shared instrumentation. Because I do "Care."
