Hi everyone,
I made a song that was a bit different from what I usually do. At least, that's what I thought. It's more mystical. It does feature instruments I often use, like the cello, violins, and other strings, but now it also includes congas and a "running wild" violin in the chorus.
But listen for yourself and let me know.

The lyrics are on SoundCloud and have been checked by ChatGPT, so I hope there's nothing strange in there.
Marty also listened in and offered some advice. I think he's readily available to help anyone.
In the meantime, I've taken down my entire recording studio. It's a complete mess, but the plan is to be able to keep it going for quite a while after the rebuild.

A bit about the instruments:
