I saw Plini play this live. The entire crowd was in awe of the beautiful light show and the melodic guitar solo in the intro that plays through for a bit. I looked to my left and to my right, all eyes glued to him and bodies stiff. I looked straight at him in the middle of the crowd, raised my hand and gave him the rock on symbol with my hand and waved it around. We locked eyes and he nodded at me. It was such a sick moment.

This guy is going to go places. There are many amazing players out there with tons of chops and versatility but only few have the musicality, inventiveness, style, tone, touch and the compositional sense and Plini has 'em all. He reminds me a lot of Guthrie but he's got his own thing going on musically and that's a very rare thing these days. He's a composer indeed. Very refreshing.

It's so weird NOT seeing Plini play a Strandberg now, it's almost like his signature thing ;p

[AugieSubsJrock]

I don't know why but I get this rushing happiness senstion everytime that pinch harmonic at 2:57 plays. Amazing work, Plini!

Thanks to this song, I now know what 'tears of joy' feels like! Just went ahead and bought it. Plini you rock my world!

[thienannguyenho]

How many times did I listen to it? I don't know, each time each different feel. Thank you very much.

[aericc]

Plini is really one of the most uniquely gifted songwriters I've ever heard. Incredible

[karanbarnabas]

His playing is so good he doesn’t need to plug his guitar in

[robbieh]

I cannot express to you how much I adore your music. It takes me places man. I basically trip when I listen to your music. You are one of the most talented artists I have ever seen. Please keep going

[NoOne-hdiu]

Anytime I write a really cool song and think I'm a good composer, I come back to this and am just like "nah".

[mikekennethdevine]

In-room sound of string strokes is adding an interesting kind of atmosphere to this video.

[aidenfitzpatrick]

You don´t need drugs when you just can get this for free and it's absolutely healthy for your body and mind. You listen to this guy playing and it's like having a trip elsewhere.

[kevindavizu]

ya 9 años y no deja de sorprender como la primera vez y el renombre de plini entre los mejores guitarristas de prog actuales.

[fabianvanderelst]

I can't begin to tell y'all how many times I've listened to this song!
When I first listened to this, this was such a nice song. Then I've listened it over and over until I knew it by heart. Then I started listening with good headphones, and started listening closely to all of the details, such as tone, drum mixing, orchestral sounds etc. Then I started to listen to this to get an upbeat energetic feeling. Then I had it as my alarm clock sound, and I never grew tired of it!
And now I'm still returning to this so much! For the emotions packed in it, for dreaming about being able to play this one day with my guitar, and for trying to wrap my head around how even the parts are built up 😂. And of course for at least trying to play the "simple parts".

[kadinwisniewski]

I cannot even remember the last time I was so impressed by a piece of music. It's so powerful, kickass, and awesome, but also completely uplifting and really happy at the same time. This is literally - and I really do mean literally - one of the greatest songs I've ever heard

[fabianvanderelst]

This is one of my all time favourite songs! And now I'm listening to it with good speakers, I hear the tiny things so much clearer and better! It's a joy to be able to listen to music like this! Thanks a lot, Plini!

[cleverclover]

In a world where instrumental guitarists are a dime a dozen, this is something special.

[leah]

It's amazing the progress and evolution of your music style! This sounds pretty wild and powerfull, but the most recent songs/records sounds more refined, more stylish! #pliniRocks

what he does at 1:04 it's pretty clear this guy is an alien living among us
