Wow! Thanks for sharing this Jan and Sune Schack.
This is truly one of the best marriages of song and video (Melanie) I’ve seen. So well produced and directed. Salvador Dali a fave artist of mine and it appears the video’s creator may be a fan too. The lyrics are a perfect love song translated so beautifully by Steve and the band. Turned me to mush!!

Just listening to these songs for the first time, Sune. Agreed! Better World is a masterpiece. I absolutely love songs with various time signatures. The abrupt stop just before Steve comes in with singing is very cool. Steve P’s synth with Steve L’s guitar blend makes for a gorgeous outro. These lyrics, right now, are so timely too. I honestly feel these Session Days and fan pages have a way of bringing this corner of our music World together, AND for the Better. ✌?
