Hello, "Torrey Bliss"...

I have always been impressed by artists who find inspiration in tragic events, and then find a way to express their feelings in musical form. It's a creative and transformative process that must be very involved, deeply reflective, and soul-quieting.

The tempo decrease in the last two verses had the effect of suspending time as the radiant aura of your humble, poignant lyrics illuminated the memory of your late friend.

"For better or worse I played all the other instruments on the track to be able to fit what I had in mind for the tune." . I'd say "for the better".

"I'll Shine Your Light" is moving and ultimately hopeful in tone.

Sensitively done,

LOREN
