It's great to see you posting in the showcase again, Steve, and what a beautiful song you've shared with us. I am very sorry your health has not been the best, and even more sorry to hear you have had such a great loss. I admit I am happy to hear you are still creating despite these hard times.

Keep it up! <3


Cheers,
Ember

That is one of, if not the, most emotional instrumentals that's been posted here. And we enjoyed every second of it. It is superbly produced.

We find it to be a showcase (within the showcase) of what can be done with one's own playing, BiaB and other products and a masterful mix.

We've no doubt that both your faith and positive attitude will guide you through this.

Thanks for sharing....

Not only is Floyd a great songwriter. He is a master of the written word. I could not say it better. This is just beautiful!! Should be a movie score. I have some plugins and fool around with MIDI at times but cannot make anything that sounds like this. WONDERFUL!! Wishing you well. Take care. Greg


Greg, thanks very much for your generous words. Glad you enjoyed this one.

You should submit this piece to Classic FM here in the UK for airplay they would play it for sure.


Thanks so much for your comments! Really appreciate you taking the time to listen and say such nice things!

Great orchestration!
I was deeply moved by your splendid score.
The melody is also very beautiful.
All the instruments are very well chosen and combined.
I think you really well studied the orchestral arrangement.
The skills of piano and guitar are also wonderful.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

It's great that you are able to channel your deepest emotions into your music. A composer cannot ask for more.

Man, I was already massively impressed by this song before I came to read your post on it here - Now, I'm beyond "impressed"!


Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!
