I composed this tune a few days ago and originally had organ backing, but IMO the strings give it much more depth.
Story behind the title is explained on youtube.

Hello Graham, fantastic choice of instrumentation on this. The arrangement is a pleasure to listen to and the instruments are layered nicely. Thanks for sharing!

I really like listening to this track - very nice composition!

Forgive me the ignorance, but is it the John Barry who composed music to some of the James Bond movies you are referring to? If yes, then I do understand the connection and your inspiration. He made some very well composed soundtracks but I don't know him very well besides his music for those movies.

Thank you for sharing!

Hi Will, Yeah John composed a lot of the Band movie scores, plus hundreds of others, one of my favourites being The John Dunbar theme from dances with wolves, out of Africa and many others

Good stuff, Graham! You are just so good at this genre.

I enjoyed reading the backstory too, and watching the images.

Hi, Graham !

What a beautiful tune !
This is one of your
absolute best instros
I´ve heard so far !:))

As for Scotland, I love that
country and, as you may know,
I was not to meet my loved
one at the shores of Loch
Lomond ever again as she
was subdued by cancer and
so we could never make that
trip back again !

Your tune had this nostalgic
effect on me as has the mere
Scottish landscape that I
do love being half Norwegian
myself !:))

Cheers
Dani

Wow - this is stunning, Graham smile It has so much character, and is so lush and full. You really do excel at this style of music, and this song certainly showcases that. I can't think of a single thing I'd change.

A beautiful and solid tune - thanks for sharing!
