Hi Alan,

I love that sad melody. It would also fits nicely with vocals, but without them its really good. Never thought the steel guitar works so nicely in this kind of songs. And about the drums, they didn't bother me at all. I liked them with that -somewhat- penetrating beat. It helps in giving you feel the tension of what might come (in the movie). But I think this is a matter of taste.
So very well done,

Hans
PS: stay safe
