HAPPY NEW ONE

Here is my remedy for a damn good new year :

1- A lot of moody music
2- Great inspired voices
3- A touch of contemplative sadness.

I offer you right now those 3 points in one tune. Bless y'all up.

B Spence "Contemplating Mind"


Special large thx to Mathias De La Fuente & Emile Omar for a year of sharing good music.
