James,
A very brooding and contemplative piece...
Love the way you have used the flute here. Beautiful mix.
As always, nicely done.

James, very nice mood..loved how you handled the RT components..understated and mood-maintaining. The flute—how hard this is to handle via midi..I’m never satisfied with the digital sound output, but you used it well..enjoyed my early-morning listen.

Nice instrumentation in this. Like Mario's "A Simple Coubtry Waltz" I can imagine vocals worling well with it.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

James, a very mellow and wonderful song.
Loved that flute - great MIDI work on it.
Super backing band
I'm really glad that you posted this.

James,
Such a lovely 3/4 waltz! That flute just sings its message so poignantly The acoustic guitar was a nice change of pace.
A simple, yet full, presentation. Very nice job in creation and presentation.
Thanks for another great listen!

Thank you so much, everyone. This was, to my mind at least, just a "place filler", until I write something "better" (may be a long wait! haha ...), but ... I'm really happy you all enjoyed it. Thanks so much, each and every one of you, for your kind comments!

James, this was terrific. It reminded me of Dark Waltz, are you familiar with that? Great job, bud.

That flute melody is very cool.
I was half hoping for a vocal but the flute takes away the need.
A sweet thing.
Cheers

I have a weakness for waltzes.
Simple, relaxed, and the flute motif is beautiful.
Enjoyed my listen.

Well, I knew it wasn't gonna make me sad because it's a James Delsono original. Man, there are some cool changes. I like 3s and 6s and this waltz is just perfect. Love how it starts with the guitar and its hote-bending intro. But that flute steals the show with such a beautiful melody. I couldn't find the credit for it. Are you playing it? I know your talents are greater than we know. I get the idea for the comments that it's MIDI, but still yuou mastered it so well with the perfect melody. Keep that pipeline filled with more of what you do, James.

This is a lovely waltz and the flute provided feelings of happiness as well as sadness.
The excellent band supports the whole contemplative vibe very well.
And you presented it in a very nice mix ... sounds open and airy, like we love, on the monitors.
Enjoyed it!
