Songs like this simply make you feel like everything will be okay. There's always gonna be an escape from this crazy world as long as music like this exists.

Some artists are known for having just one timeless track, but Ricardo has dozens of them.

[@petrektek1385]

Played by Ricardo at 9am after I don't know how many hours of set. It was a blessing for all the people in the dancefloor, a great moment I'll nrver forget.

[@moncada7112]

Pleasure is in variety

[@Matt-ky8re]

Convinced that people who love this music are more in tune with some sort of deep level of their conciousness. There is something absolutely spiritual and divine about this and a lot of minimal / deep tech house that words cannot explain.

[@TheTootsinboots]

yup pure meditaion only a few get it

[@tthrober]

It tends to be rather abstract, shallow and diffuse in comparison to let's say great classical works or certain jazz compositions. Also usually lacks the melodic and harmonic complexity to evoke more than just 1 or 2 emotions. Don't get me wrong, Ricardo is one of the greatest producer/composers and musicians of all time, but the style of music has it's self imposed limitations.

[@harrytuttleheatingengineer7515]

I agree. I’ve tripped with this music and I’ve used other more main stream electronic. The dub techno and the minimal takes me some place real. Hope to see you there sometime😁

Bro I’ve been doin it for around 3 years. I’m 22, but the nostalgia hits when you recall a song from your beginnings that’s something that hits hard. Especially with bangers like this.

Wishing you many more calm, peaceful walks my friend. Take a hit and hold it in for me 💗 We are with each other in spirit

[@ard83]

This track has saved my life....

[@kaskoenrico]

here as well - feeling stressed and confused but this song makes me feel that everything has its own time and pace, no need to lose your mind, it will get better and will be okay

[@matthewmeek8470]

For 9 minutes I was just transported back in time to all the beaches around the world and all the sweaty warehouses, I swear this song just took me back there. The memories will last forever. I really hope I get one more chance to do it again before it’s too late x

[@baarth8305]

@@BobbyBundlez I don't think there is anything objective in my feeling about this track, and it's particularly the opposite, i feel like this music speaks to something extremely precious and dead in my inner self. Those chords, the vocals, the pad, everything just directly goes in the center of my heart and make me want to cry, feelings of unreality and nostalgia out of this world, to me, this is just visceral

this music was and will forever be out of this world, out of time and the strongest melody loops i ever heard

[@rezzwastaken]

I know Ricardo has many classics like "Dexter," "Easy Lee," the entire Alcachofa album, and brilliant remixes-the list is long. But this one is different. You can never get tired of the loop because it is so magical, ethereal, and unique. Even the slight changes throughout the track draw you in deeper. The moment at 8:08 is a perfect example; it hits unexpectedly and makes you realize this man has a special talent for inviting you on a journey that never ends.
