So I never wrote a review? :o
Its hard to listen to such audio as is created by those whos talent derives from the simple pleasures that they take to heart. Those pleasures that they find around them, the things that others take for granted...let me weave you a scene, one of fantasy...and in doing so hope that you see the way I do.
'The birds first give me a feeling of Calmness...as birds should...a feeling of peace. You quickly get into the audio itself, giving it life (let me guess, this song started moving along without you really even having to interfere too much? ^^;). The piano, being the classic instrumental string that it is invokes emotion, especially the way you made it play through...now imagine...'
'You open your eyes and walk out of reality into a dream that only this world could hold. Surrounding you is trees, a forest of livid green, floating in a sea of brown. A squirrel scampers up a nearby tree, a rabbit digs through the brush, you are at peace. In front of is a river, running swift but calm, its blue surface shimmering in the mid-day sun, fish gleam in its depth's. One jumps out of the water in a magnificent arc, you follow it with your eyes and look toward the sky where a eagle soars, its majestic figure slowly circling. Not a cloud to be seen. Across the sparkling river is another bank, as you look you see movement, a girl sitting there playing with a simple White Lily. As you look across the blue expanse she looks back, stands up, smiles billiantly and turns disappearing into the tree behind here. The eagle screeches and as the music fades so does this fantasy, a dream that shall never be forgotten.
Absolutely magnificent, it calms something far deeper than the heart and let nobody tell you that this is not worth the score it has been given. For you created beauty by shaping a simple thing into a work of pure spirit. Hold it high and never let go.
