"Into Eternity" by Farah

Song: Into Eternity
Artist: Farah
Album: After Dark 2 (2013)
Also try:  both After Dark compilations
Commentary: This song stood out on the original mix but it also simmers and just slaps on its own. Both the After Darks are great. I don't listen to 'em enough cuz I like to do each in a solid chunk without interruption.
