      I gracefully yet gratefully accept your salute with the gracefulness of a swan… 🦢 This song is literally a lyrically, vocally, instrumentally and productively produced masterpiece and I fell in love with this blessing from the moment I first heard it at just three years old in 1979 and now forty five years on this love affair I began with this song way back in the late 70s right up to the present day of now as part of the mid 2020s whilst we’re in 2024 still burns strong within my heart soothing my physical soul and caressing my internal spirit taking me to romantic destinations that only exist within the (12TH DIMENSION) and above into the (HEAVENLY REALMS) which tells me this song must’ve been conceived in Zion and born within Agartha… 🕊️
