Excellent expression of actually someone crying out to the universe about tribulations.
Your backing you have played is truly complimenting your magnificent guitar vocals, Michael.

Sorry, I'm a little late for the party on this one! As everyone else love the slide work, especially those long draws! The backing track gives you a nice playground to shine on! Great sound!

Wow! Love this. Very expressive and emotional playing. The Lap Steel sounds amazing! I also like all the details and care you've put into the backingtrack.
Fantastic work!

Oh Yeah now we talkin Gilmour'ish!! Very cool sliding here.
And the surreal backer is awesome. What a crazy mix with bluesy slide and electronica. I like it alot!
Killer-slide-work!

This takes the blues to another planet and back again! Those soaring sounds create dramatic sweeping images of the universe. Colors seem to explode from this track - very creative work.

Oh yeah you took the blues and warped it out beyond the edge of the galaxy! The sound you get from that steel is mind blowing! Amazing piece MD, just amazing.

Professional work in this extraordinary tune!!!
Impressed from the layering used, I hear some Harps/Bells/Piano here, and the high contrast to the hard driven Lap Steel guitar is so unique, exceptional good arranged!!
Remark: the lick at about 3:02 is Jeff Beck as he stays and plays in my ears!!! WOW!! Applause Capitan!!!!

Awesome lap steel work Michael. Love the "and the Universe answered back" addition to the title. Cosmic wailin' after the 2:01 bridge. Got a little Duane in there on the slide - nice. Very cool outro.

Digging the slide cuz you should try it on a Pink Floyd tune like One Of These Days.
