C so stop and smell the roses on every journey you are on and listen.... listen closely listen closely V2 every lake knows a secret every river sings along every star gives a lover reason for hearts beating strong Every petal of a flower and every blade of grass can teach us something if we stop... don't go quickly past... C so stop and smell the roses on every journey you are on and listen..... listen closely and listen..... listen closely to hear the muse's song yes listen....

I must say that I am not too sure about it. I tried to recreate "Ophelia" by the Lumineers for a synch opportunity but I am not sure that I succeeded. They guy who does my final mixing and production said he wasnt sure about it either (didnt like the drums and I think I agree with him). So your encouragement is appreciated.

I do agree from a syncing opportunity, the drums (beat) could be improved but only from that perspective. From all other perspectives, this is a good, strong, well written and produced piece.
