Thanx so much Floyd.


OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Since you are open to comments, here is my 3 cents. I think from 1:04 to 1:40 strings overpowering guitar... And I would prefer to hear more of that guitar in that segment. Also a spike in a guitar, which David mentioned. Other than that, very nice.
Thank you for sharing.

Misha, thanx so much for listening and those very helpful constructive criticisms. Having listeners like yourself help me become a better musician and producer.

I'm not sure this needed the percussion so far forward but that's not a deal breaker anyway.


Thanx for listening and commenting. I appreciate your honest evaluations of my songs. Constructive criticism like this helps me become a better musician and producer so thanx for that.

Lovely in a most superb manner.

That flute is over the top engaging! In tone and melody.

Excellent indeed.

The song is aptly titled.

The flute is lovely, and I particularly like your nylon guitar performance.

If you're not, you should be making $$$ on your compositions. They are so good.

I closed my eyes and listened so I can attest that it really works as a meditative piece to find Inner Peace. Nice work.

Hi Mario,

Love that flute, the vibrato is so well done, soulful. Your nylon string guitar sounds great, well recorded.

On AKG K240 headphones, the stereo on this track is so spacious.

I could do with a touch more bass. Now listen thru Kali LP-8 monitors, still wanting more bass.

Thanks for sharing,

Frank

Thanx so much for these very kind words.

Also do not listen to my Synth Demo, I don't want to ruin my reputation. Well maybe it is to late for that now!

Mario,

Nylon guitar is very tasty.
Also flute is very nice.
These two instruments produce a very rich sound scene.
What a mellow.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.
