Oh! I was expecting something mournful, thinking "The little boats of hope".
That also reminded me of one of my favorite slow songs by Jimi Hendrix, "Drifting".
"drifting, on a sea of forgotten heartaches, in a lifeboat, waiting for your love".
I was also expecting one of your poetic videos, seeing many changes of graphic arts,
but this is the first one I saw of you just playing guitar, and singing, in front of the camera.
I could be a little jealous of your very sophisticated classical guitar approach.
Seeing that long thumbnail for picking single notes is something I can't do.
Round-wound nickle-plated steel strings would chew that up right away.
I use a Fender Small Heavy pick, the smallest pick they make, and as thick as they make them.
The shape and kind of plastic makes it easy to hold with my palm or between fingers,
if I'm finger-picking or finger pulling chords.
That is also something Jimi Hendrix taught me, always being technical in interviews,
and when I saw him live.
I found a nice balance here between listening to the music more,
while watching your fingers.
I also easily imagined a nice rhythm guitar part, hearing the chords I would play.
If you want to mail me your guitar, I could do a video of me jamming along with you.
yeah....
