You have a fine ear for a melody line Mike. This is well put together with and goes through very imaginative changes. Lovely to listen to.

Really nice work on this one - romantic is the perfect adjective for this. I love how smooth and easy on the ears it is. The kind of tune you can sway and get lost to. I'm a fan of the progressions throughout as well. Keeps you on your toes, and adds to an already beautiful tune.

Not a thing I'd change - thanks for sharing smile

Instrumentals not really my thing, although this was a nice piece.
I loved the piano on the intro and the build up as the song travels through its journey.

Thanks
