Thanks for taking the time to listen and give your input on this one and your kind words are as, always greatly appreciated.

OK, bare with me as I try to explain, how I come to write passages such as the one at the beginning of this song.

I consider it less waxing poetically and more just writing from a belief that just as in writing a story or a poem; anything is possible in the world you create in a song.

I create from the belief that in a heightened state of sensitivity, be it joy or pain, we can be warmed to our souls by things we see and can hear things we normally wouldn’t or come to appreciate, even if only for that moment, sounds we hardly notice come through clear as day.

Just as in real life, their emotional state goes a long way in determining what the character think he sees, hears or feels.

That being said, I totally understand where you're coming from and I grant you both, that if there was a firefly flying in front of my face as I type this response I would not hear it, nor would I feel any warmth from it's glow. smile smile

Thanks again guys
