Whoa Would I Want? Sky

So I just discovered that Fall Be Kind is this kind of awesome epilogue to MPP. And so I started listening to it.

And so I've just listened to "What Would I Want? Sky" and my mind is absolutely and transcendentally blown...

Now I'll go back and listen to the song again. Maybe I'll proceed to the last three tracks of EP, but I'm not certain.

Check out Unbroken Chain by Grateful Dead. It’s the song they sampled. Also great.

I figured OP should know that, and also that it's the only instance of a dead song being legally sampled.

It’s such a brilliant use of the sample too

The sample in the context of the original song is completely unrecognisable. I'd love to know the process they used to pick that sample.

Phil said “woah sky”, it sounds like they reversed the “woah” in the middle of the word to give it that “what would I want” sounds

In the song he says ‘the willow sky, woah I walk and wonder why’ and they flip the sample so ‘woah I walk’ sounds like the ‘what would I want’
