Smoking more-o :P

Loving life.

I feel longing and lifted at the same time with these songs. Remembering and Hope for the future. These are songs that I would want to be played for my family when I die and my ashes are carried off to some overlook of a favourite valley, brook or star gazing spot, in which I love to sit in gratitude for all the people I've known, places I've seen and wonderment in which...

A nice intro I wanted to share.
