Very emotional song Mario. Well done. Such a lot of feeling in this song. Thanx so much Scott.
OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Mario,
Interesting progression that moves this beyond the NewAge style. I enjoy your wind controller work and its the highlight on this... tend to agree with others; it might be mixed a tad high.
Funny intro and title!
Robert
Thanx Robert. I do like to use some jazz chords in NewAge music. IMHO it makes it a bit more interesting.

Very nicely composed & executed...
It could be an excellent candidate as a backing track for a video (hint hint)...
At least as it played I could see images in my mind...
As always...
Another good job well done Mario! Thanx so much Jim. I wish that I could do either video or animation, but I can even trace my hand correctly!

Magical, mesmerizing, emotional, cinematic and so well produced. The flute is great and it was interesting to note that you used the vocal rider on it. Ultimately, as is your signature, it is nicely melodic! J&B PS Ray's comment about the disabled fairy....  Thanx J&B. I have found that the vocal rider can be very effective on a number of tracks such as bass, woodwinds or brass.

Mario,
This is beautiful track. Well done in all respects.
The mix is well balanced.
Interesting that some are finding it "loud". I played it at 100% of the Soundcloud volume controller - and it seemed fine - after having to turn Hans' ballad down to 30%... Oh well..
I really enjoyed this...
fj Thanx Floyd, especially about the volume part. It sounds OK here also.

A lovely composition with some very nice sounding parts.
Pretty (sad) and enchanting.

Beautiful, mesmerizing, cinematic, melancholic. You are really a master of MIDI orchestration with ability to create beautiful melodies and harmonies.

Very nice.... I can hear the cinematic aspect to this as well.
The fade kinda left me setting here naval gazing.... as it is supposed to be.... It took me there.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
