Artist's description:
Part 1:

As winter fades and the sun begins to spend more time here, the warm rays bring gentle morning breezes and life begins to stir.

Part 2:

Grumbling, the Earth wakes and snow trickles off the mountains into streams below.

Below the ground a fight for sky begins as millions of roots and seeds spring into action.

The newness of it all brings a glow to all life and thoughts of love are irresistable.

Part 3:

The Earth finally awake relaxes for a long spring shower.

This song was my contribution to the Hellven "Living in Spring" disk.

Contributors:
There's a cameo by Tony Blair from the speech he gave at Diana's funeral.

I normally play a track 3 times before reviewing. I think I've played this one about 7 as it grew on me each time. Definitely one for the ambient fans. Nice depth and nice feel to it.... Read full review

Yeah thanks for the comments, this song was never quite right for me - the final section just never really came together properly. Of course all of you know you can obsess on a mix so long it becomes obnoxious and you'll never release it. Plus I had a deadline from hellven for the living in spring disk.

Excellent telling of the cycle of life. I like how the percussion moves in, backs out a little, comes back in, backs out again, and the outro was a smooth and graceful "there you go, back to your world" transition.

Finally! was wondering when this classic was going to make it on TiS's return! :D Actually, I have it anyway, and have had it since you first released it on the LiS music disk!. Awesome awesome piece of work.
