This song was written in one take, no changes, no additions, no edits. Just one time through, in real time. Because of that, it’s raw. The key was to capture the emotions and whatever main theme that developed from those emotions. Changes and edits – including orchestration, tempo corrections, etc. – can come later.

These are the experiences I cherish because there’s no hiding behind any illusionary need for perfection.

In fact, I don’t even have a name for it, other than it was the 6th song from the album SKY. This is the entire song as well.

Enjoy,
Adam

    Lovely – a new awakening. I c myself dancing in grass with my gr granddaughter. We did lots of grounding – walking, running & laying in grass in Vegas early in week. Love it.

      So very cool Lynn. That’s very inspiring!

    Perfect. Simply perfect. Clear sky, a beautiful blue…a slight breeze is blowing and the sunlight streams down upon my shoulders. I can see me walking slowly, no place to be, no specific destination. Just making my way across the meadow to the forest beyond. Entering into the forest, feeling the cooler temperature, and now just the dappling sunlight showing me the way. This song is so amazing. It evokes a pleasant amble through just about anywhere my mind takes me. Leading me to a peaceful reflection of whatever is on my mind. Wow. The first listen is wonderful…can’t wait to see/hear/feel what other listens will bring.

      Jean,
      Wow, thanks for the visuals! This really helps with inspiration on where to take the song. Yes, it will get remastered, orchestrated, and named. Thanks for adding some color to the palette!

    Wow—- i began listening to songs for meditation because they became part of me and allowed my energy fields to expand

    Your raw songs always seem to do that — this song activates my heart chakra and sends me on an inner journey and, my 3rd eye is vibrating intensely—-time for imagining a new chapter in my life

    Again, thanks so much ADAM —-you bless us with your gifts —

    Hugs

      Terri,
      You’re so very welcome. It floors me that the “simple first take” songs get so much love. The simple things matter the most, I guess. Thank you for validating that. 🙂

    This is my favorite song I have heard in forever… I’d say it aptly describes where I am in my internal maturity at the moment. I love the fullness and the richness of tones. It made me feel validated somehow. 💝🖤💖💛
    I felt closer to you too, you a soul connected brother across the ages.
    THANK YOU for being
    THANK YOU for sharing

    I had a really rough day at work today emotionally and physically. While listening to this song a wave of warmth and peace washed over me, and washed it all away….

      Wonderful Pat, thank you for sharing. ☺️

    Adam,
    I love to listen to your music while I paint and this one has the flow of peaceful quiet energy that I wish was on repeat ……. a gentle sound that ebbs and flows with no stress, no hurry…… I love the images shared above…… long walks in nature with the sun shining and dappled leaf shadows dancing and swaying in a gentle warm breeze…… perfect for this early autumn

    • Adam King

      Beautiful words. Thanks for sharing your visions too. ❤️

    Today I have a deep ache with the loss of a Friend and this piece was deeply comforting. Lots of tears feeling the depth of this Life Journey. Your music amplifies the preciousness of Life. Thank you x

    A lovely heartfelt song! It was a stressful day and this felt very calming. I listened to it several times. Amazing you can do this in one take!

    • Adam King

      Thank you DJ. Always glad to hear when the music supports the calming after a stressful day.
      As for doing it in one take, that’s the easy part. 😉

    This song is so different than the other SKY songs. It felt happier and peaceful. I envisioned exactly what Jean expressed. A slow walk in the woods where I found myself just enjoying and exploring the nature surrounding me and cocooning me. So very peaceful yet uplifting. And this is just the first take.
    I have begun to listen to your music first thing in the morning. It grounds me. There is an energy to it that I can’t explain and I resonate to it so strongly. As try as I might I can’t seem to stop the tears that seem to flow. The music takes me someplace else as if it is saying “Welcome Home.” Don’t ever stop composing. Thank you for your gift.

    • Adam King

      Thank you so much for sharing JoAnne. It’s very exciting to know you’re using the music in the morning. Maybe I should too. 😉
