Thanks to my friend (and podcast co-host) David Lewis for linking me to this awesome song. It’s so rich with sound, expression, and contrast, and that’s the YouTube version! I look forward to getting this thing on iTunes as soon as I get some more iTunes credit handy. Be sure to tune in to the HQ version for the best sound from this song.
