Hi Mario, it's gorgeous.
I am wondering on the chord progression reference if any, there are a few beautifully tensioned passages that would love to know about if you are willing to share.

Thanx so much Artur.

Attached are the chords. Parts of the chord progression is from Lay Lady Lay and similar to I fooled Around and Fell in Love. The chorus is like many 50's choruses.

Smooth strings; guitar makes a nice contrast.

Good soundscape.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thank you very much for sharing.
If I am not wrong, what triggered my curiosity are those consecutive progressions in the form of
IV-ivm-I-I7 in contrast with
IV-ivm-I-V7,
loving it.

Lovely Mario. Really liked the mix on this one. The bells panning left and right was really cool. Guitar melody was really nice as well. Well done

Hi Mario,

I thought it would be an original angle to talk about your strings, but the I read all the posts. No exception, they all were impressed by how you did it. A beautiful emotional song you've made here. You are really a man for all seasons!
I don't know what to say more than the others did. very, very good. i could almost see the fairies do their work.

Oh, wait... I have something. you named it a waltz, but that I did not hear as in 3/4 and a bit swinging.
Are that my ears, or did you tricked us with the name?

But whatever it is, it is beautiful!
Hans
