Hi Chay,

I agree with all others here. A very lovely melody, a well balanced song and lots of variation in it.
I became intrigued by that lady in the middle; not smiling, laughing, at 3:00 a wider smile and so on, until she was no longer alone.
Is there a purpose to doing this, or do I just think there is a meaning to doing this?

Your ending didn't sound so abrupt, just a bit. But what you replied there, let me think of a possible solution.
Have you tried to let the flute (for me it sounds like a flute, but...) play one or two more bars solo with the chord have 3 dots (like: C...)
Then you can cut it where it sounds not too abrupt.
Or maybe someone else on this forum has a brighter solution...
