It's such an interesting track to consider. I really appreciate the intent. I just can't get into how abstract and minimalist the improvisation it. It sits between two extremely moving, theatrical, lush tracks that showcase some incredible songwriting and compositional chops. It just feels entirely lost, even if that's the purpose.
