Greg,

Thank you very much for your comment. I am always encouraged by your positive comments.

I am sorry to say I have re-balanced the track volumes so that two realtracks can be heard better and replaced the file on Soundcloud. I would be happy if you could check it.

Robert,

Thank you for your comment. I am happy that you enjoyed my song.

The fact is, the title was given by my wife. She is much better at giving titles to songs than I. Anyhow, we are so glad to hear it fits to the mood.

I am also glad to know the instrumental balance is good now.

HiroshiK,

A very beautiful soundscape, dreamy and relaxing.
One little nit, it sounds like each 2nd drum (bass)kick could be a little bit later/slower (But that's just my opinion)
Good work!

Rob,

Thank you for your comment. I am glad you like my song.

Yes, after I carefully checked the timing, I can say now what you kindly pointed out is correct. I think, however, the delay is so subtle that most people would overlook it. Frankly so did I. Thank you for letting me know it.

Torrey,

Thank you for your kind comment. I am pleased to know you saw my song as the film score. I am more than happy if it could put the listener in a peaceful state of mind as you kindly say because all of us are living in this stressful world.
