The effects and soundscape kinda put me in mind of this (Best listened to on good headphones or speakers!)
Information is not knowledge.
Knowledge is not wisdom.
Wisdom is not truth.
Truth is not beauty.
Beauty is not love.
Love is not music.
Music is the best!

Thanks for posting!
Yes, I notice the similarities in atmosphere there.
Kind of intimate.
I was forgetting how good he is.
It's either this or that, then again it might be the other. 

I can promise you a future of slow decline.

Hey Rightly
I liked the swooping strings on this a lot.  And the line "soon she will know me... better", that's a bit sinister and lends the lyrics an edge.
For your stuff this one felt slightly more conventional to me.  I think I'm in the "could do with more variation in the second half" camp but I can see from your comments you've already decided that's not what you want to do with this one, so respect for that.
Your voice sounds close to John Martyn on this to me.  (I expect you've had that one before?)
It's all too beautiful.

Well maybe you're right, I could made some change in the second or third third, but there's no way I wanted a structural changes. Decoration, if anything.
John martyr, eh?
Yes I've had it before, checked him out n forgot him.
I hope he's good.

There's a place where my voice falls apart and indisputably fails, but don't tell anyone. . .

"they say only time.'
I ran out of steam.
I don't know exactly why  it was so difficult to sing.
And it vexes me, no end.
I can do it better now. . . And worse. . .
Hmm. Next time.

Oh, it's certainly not my intention to be unconventional.
I do like this chord progression.

I didn't notice your voice falling apart.  At all.
John Martyn - yes, he's good.  I'm sure you've heard "Solid Air" but if you haven't, for sure check that out.

Checked him out.
He's really interesting. A Titan from the golden age.
 Nobody talks about him around here.
He reminds me of Nick drake but I think he's somehow better.
Hugely industrious.
His voice has a wide range and is soulful, lyrics are poetic and sophisticated.
Excellent guitar. Guitar and singer seem inseparable.
So much quality, I'll have to listen to more of him.

Thanks for the tip.

Hi, nice to hear some stuff from you.
Liking the backing interesting chord and piano and viola work together. Liked the ending.
Perhaps the vocal could be slightly higher in the mix.
