For months now, I have been working on the renewal of some of my favorite songs I had created in the past and I think there was room for quality enhancement, rather than creating new songs. I intend to continue it for the time being.

This is the outcome of the work. The original was a light pop song, and I have changed it into the classical style. I am satisfied with the result. I hope you also like it.

Hi HiroshiK

What a delightful version of your song.
Could drift away here.
I also like the idea of working on old songs until they are at their best.

Cheers.

Wow - this is stunning! The music here is incredibly expressive, and really does justice to the title you chose for it. The way it flows and the way all the instruments weave together here - simply put, it is beautiful.

You outdid yourself here - thanks so much for sharing this smile

The dialog flows like water down a beautiful valley stream.

It's lovely in all aspects and the mix is impeccable.

It sounds full and lush on our monitors.

I think you have achieved your goal with this!!

Scott,

Thank you for your comment. I am glad you like this version. The tones of the clarinet as well as the flute are my favorites among the D-PRO instruments.

Graham,

Thank you for your comment. I am happy to know you like this classical version. It would be a nice idea to make an album by carefully selecting songs, my friend. I did it for my family and specific friends personally.

Hi Deryk,

Thank you for your comment. I am glad you like this version so much.

Yes, I believe I could express the dialog between the lovers better than the original by using the arpeggio of the harps and the cellos. It is more atmospheric as well.

This song is really strong from the get-go. It definitely feels very romantic, but also private? In a way that only a couple can communicate. I think you really out did yourself with this remake.

Thanks so much for sharing!


Cheers,
Ember
