Warm and beautiful. The bass is a little bit undefined for my ears. Minor details. All in all a beautiful tune well done.

Overall rating

Having taken a stab at the same beautiful tune before myself (not very successfully, I may add), I've listened to this with a more critical ear than probably most people.



- Wonderful piano intro! Love it.



- That warm bass (together with the subtle acoustic guitar) is just so comforting.



- Hmm, at 0:57 that chord cannot be right. It just doesn't sound right.



- Absolutely perfect choice of instrument for the lead - but I am missing the subtle portamentos and the trailing slides. I always thought those were what made this SID so touching.



- The short, stabby strings at 1:23 - again, a great choice.



- It seems to end a bit early. Sounds like you just wanted to finish it fast. I'm missing a crescendo and a climax from the arc of this tune.


All in all, great choices in instrumentation marred by a few questionable choices in arrangement.
