This song always brings me back to the center of feeling grounded in the world. Saw him live years ago (early 90s). One of my favorite tracks.

Mine also. Joe speaks without saying. Literally brings every emotion out of you all at the same time. Its like an episode of a relationship going bad ! And their talking back and forth fighting back and forth. And throwing Fitts and drowning in tears all at the same time. Amazing amazing. The greatest Titan guitar artist ever walked the planet. He Talks volumes without saying a word. Leebone.

Não dá pra acreditar que esse álbum tem 36 anos, ainda soa muito atual.

I remember when i first bought this album. My Dad and I listened to the whole thing as we were driving home at night. And now I always associate this song with the thought of going to peacful sleep. Gotta hand it to Joe.

It is a solemn sleep song? I used to sleep to it every night and wake up to it still repeating. So you are onto something about it being a nice lullaby almost, while still being one of the most killer shred tracks of all time.

Man, I hadn't heard this song for maybe 15 years prior to hearing it now. I feel I know it by heart, cause I just knew what would come. Every passage, every run, every shift. Felt like home, kind of.

Fuck yeah

This is probably Joe's most overlooked, underrated/underappreciated lead and solo work. Unbelievable phrasing, the PAUSES to create space like a great jazz player. Reminds me of Lester Young at times.

The one thing that I have never liked about this track is that it ends, pure masterpiece

I feel that way about the Surfing song and Crushing Day and Lords of Karma.
