Its very hard to hear this tune....

It always makes me think about all the amazing things I will never see in my lifetime...like ice caps of Europa... the bad lands and ocher mountains of Titan... the shifting crimson sands of mars.... the tumultuous storms of Jupiter....and a girl I told all this to that didn't live much longer after that.

Oh! am i dreaming? am i swimming with the whales in the open ocean? am i on

a journey to the moon? one can ask all these questions, yes you might be for a

moment floating in the sky with the great albatros migrating from the south to the

north. that's what this tune does only if you just set yourself free & think about nothing but the beauty of nature, hence the title of the song. just close your eyes

& explore life. thanks for posting.

Words cant explain how PERFECT this song really is. Simply Genius!

This is definitely one of the most Sophisticated and complex Jazz Albums out there. i love the way the song goes from 5/4 to 9/8 time. Great track right here.

just throwing it out there, album was made from 1987. As 1986 came to be, it was the year that sound had coherently improved to its finest form. As years went on, sound engineering became more sharper and mastered. Just put your ears closely and listen; then you will see.

The YellowJackets represent what love is, unity and are messengers of the universe for all of humanity. It is truly ashame that not all of humanity can understand this music but those that do should be truly privileged and blessed. Their music is nature, the beauty of creation itself and the vastness that yet awaits us in the universe. Words cannot describe the importance of their message, but if you listen like I always do, you are inspired, lifted, blessed and filled with strength to move on.

A collidascope of rythm, One of my favorites, you have to have the ear to appreciate this tune or any of their tunes.

I'd known about and listened to the YJs before I bought this album in '89, but this was the track that sealed the deal and produced some real love for the YJs. This cut is some mind and mood transformin' stuff. I still get chills almost 23yrs later. Timeless...
