    I remember finding this song when I was 18. I just moved back home after running away at the age of 15. I felt so lost and hopeless. I sobbed listening to this. It hit so hard, and I can’t explain why. I’m nearly 29, married, have a daughter, and am doing alright. So glad to search this song again, and see it to, has grown. Thanks Andy.

      Welcome home, a few years late. It pleases me to hear that you got it together and now have a family.
      I can't remember when I first heard this song, but it was a long time ago. A friend sent me a link to his cover of Toto's Africa and that lead me to several of his songs. This one struck me (and still does) as a combination of a lullaby and a love song. It's quite emotional and works very well.
      McKee's playing is so tasty. I'm grateful to have his music in my life.

My daughter is 11 now, and has listened to the song many times. Her personality is as unique as her name.

      as Andy said, the musician who most inspired him was Michael Hedges, and he died in a car accident too, in 1997. Andy tears up when he talks about him, and he didn't even have the chance to meet him unfortunately. The friend I never met is dedicated to him too, and Aerial boundaries is an Hedges's cover. Take it like a way to feel even more close to your friend and them too my friend :)

The story behind him writing this piece will pull your heart strings. It's a sad story that resulted in a great tribute, and a beautiful piece of music. Without the story, this piece would not be possible. There is a lot of pain behind this song, and it was translated so beautifully in composition, that it brings a smile to my face. This is one of the best tribute pieces ever written, and one of the most elegant and wonderful sounds to grace a guitar. Mastery and excellence. Well done. Very well done.
