The older I get, the more I appreciate music like this. Zero 7, Air, The Cinematic Orchestra etc..... Rhodes, bass guitar, lighter drums , with light guitar. Maybe I’m just old as dirt, 44 but I tell myself it’s the evolution of my musical taste.

It's simply very good, beautiful, soulful yet technically masterful music that speaks to emotions without trying to be cheesy or shocking. Good for you for following this musical path of yours dude 🙂
