Dude, i've been in love with your work for years now and must say, once for all... Hands down: You're the most talented musician out there in AGES. The majority part of my personal guitar heros are guys people just dont know or talk about too much like Steve Stevens, Jerry Reed and so many others in their own styles, from acoustic to total cheesy virtuouso. But you are the bigger, major, crazier, spiritual, flowfull, bananas guy, that just came to reinvent the guitar and its sounds more than any other guitarrist did. You are a bless to mankind, music and the sound that ecoes trough the universe. Thank you so much, so much. I love you, you viking bastard, freak of nature Forever

Been listening to Mattias IA for some years but I've never been much of one to comment on YT vids. This is a great composition imho brilliantly executed (hey - "Brilliantly Executed" - there's a freaky song title someone can use... maybe I'll use it or some variation myself. I love wordplay.) This feels almost like a happier counterpart to Vai's Salamanders in the Sun for me. Vai's tune starts out pretty happy but becomes more dissonant and somber as it progresses away from it's initial melody. You can almost hear the salamanders drying out and sticking to some rock in the sun that was too hot for them to safely traverse. Poor salamanders lol. This song puts me in a similar mood but it feels like the amphibians (which salamanders are of course) remain having a nice little frivolous time throughout. Yeeeahhh, I'm overthinking this aren't I? ;)
