The best song he's written since Mercury for my money, and you've done an excellent job playing it here

[@GregHarradineComposer]

Thank you Dan. Mercury is indeed a great song, and The Ascension is his stand out song of recent times.

If there had to be one, then "Earth" is the masterpiece of Planetarium. But to each their own

[@jaminjones1777]

This is a beautiful cover, and an exciting song/artist to choose.

[@GregHarradineComposer]

Thank you Jamin. I am, as you may have guessed from this video, a big Sufjan fan.

My pleasure. It was a joy to arrange and record.

[@WAFRpiano]

Very inspirational. I add it to a couple of my playlist.

[@GregHarradineComposer]

Thank you! I appreciate you adding it to your playlists.

[@DeanManring]

I've listened to a lot of songs today, and this is the first one where I forgot I was actively listening and leaving commentary. It's so calming and just hit the perfect vibe for relaxing and actually enjoying today. I can't thank you enough for this. Cheers buddy :]

[@GregHarradineComposer]

That means a lot, Dean, thank you.

[@clara-nt9rx]

I would love a cover of the whole album. Sounds a bit like ghibli music.

[@GregHarradineComposer]

Thanks Clara. Not sure if I'll ever be brave enough to cover the entire album, but who knows! If you subscribe, then you'll be the first to find out if I do!
