True, it isn’t always what it seems
These scattered thoughts interact with the scene
True, it is all but a fleeting dream
Light in the world it is all that you can be
A single flame in the darkness
To light up the way
In spite of maybe because of the meaningless
Nature of being

I like that the lyric is True not Truth, bends that meaning nicely.
Nicely done. I liked the whistling the melody, it gives it an honesty. I really appreciate that it's a one take. I can't do that without getting really frustrated.

(I went to make a cup of coffee before listening to this one. I couldn't stop singing, "I get overzealous and I get confused.")
That's some impressive whistling. This is such a meditative piece. I love the way you double the melodies with the whistling and guitar. You're a pretty darn talented person. This new melody in my head is (almost) strong enough to chase out the one from overzealous, but I still have that line in my head now. :)

Awesome man! Wonderful melody. Reminds me of real folk outsider type music like Alexander Skip Spence! Cheers for the cool comments to man. And the cool jazzy chord change is sweet. Indeed I do like Barrett era Floyd, probably more so his solo stuff, but I love piper at the gates of dawn...! Thanks for the nice tune!

Beautiful song. Your guitar always expresses so much emotion. Glad you’re back this year!

Lovely minimalist approach to this which lets the song shine through. Lovely work!

Lovely stuff Mike! Nice guitar sound and the whistling is great.

Beautiful song! The thought provoking lyrics complement the romantic, wistful guitar work really well.
