One listen, and it felt pretty easy. I think I captured the song well and not at all at the same time.

Rain Tree Crow’s “Cries and Whispers” is from Rain Tree Crow.

I hope you enjoy.

Gentle percussion, seemingly for relaxation. It plays with space, and some other sounds waft in . Vocals soon follow, a little worn, a little smooth. They pick their notes and words carefully, clear and indistinct at the same time.

The percussion and other sounds keep drifting, wafting… or rather the percussion continues its relaxed push. And it all seems to start disappearing, but then it picks up again. It picks up but it remains calm, and beautiful. More sound, and vocals return.

There seems to be a sadness, but it’s all seems so impressionistic at the same time, and the sounds drop out again. And a new percussion, but an old percussion is here, playing out, playing sounds, lingering, and the voice returns, quieter. It’s quieter, and simple. and at its end, and hushed, and this time after the last word it is silence and the song ends.
