This is another song that almost made it on to Leave Me Breathless and comes from that same period of heartache. It’s originally by Otis Redding, who wrote so many great and gorgeous songs. I feel like this one is a very passionate song about longing, and I could really relate to at the time. It’s also a favourite song of a friend of mine, from a long time ago, so it feels meaningful to play it.

I love to listen to this during work, it fills me with calmness and I can almost smell the scents of the forest.
Beautiful & serene from start to finish. SilverFolfy
