Outer Wilds Reprise

This is the extended version of the short song I posted a few days ago.  Its refrain is constantly going through my head.  Perhaps it's the simplicity itself that makes the music so evocative.  I couldn't care less about the video game from which it came; whatever the source, I'm happy to find a composition that's so appealing. 

I do like the graphic art with those little campfires all alone in the cosmos.  The humble origins from whence we all came.  Once in a while we're forced to return to those humble beginnings and we have to start over.  In some ways, that's where I feel we are -- this laborious civilization we've built doesn't work so well.

For me, I'm going back to square one: happy just to be alive, woven into the great mystery, this vast panorama of existence in which we all share.
