A remastered/reworked collaboration between myself and Jonathan Beckenstein given further impetus by lyrics and vocal from Myrh.

Here are some of Myrh's thoughts about the words she sings here:
"One of the key phrases is 'the world can dig into you'; that's the whole action, with people they have to go through whats going on in their lives.
You start a young naive idealist and where do you end up?
Not a bad place, the essence of the oak tree is the seed or the tree?
But it's the discourse that the self has that's interesting.
In that conversation we can even question the idea of classic beauty or that it is just that, an idea."
