Thanks for listening Andrew. Glad you enjoyed Leonie's Song.
Variations on a theme is exactly what I was after with this. So glad you commented on this aspect.
And yes, we do slow down as we get older. smirk

Thanks for listening Brno.

Your track sounds very clean, clear and well produced!

Take care, TB

I think your wife would have loved that, depends on which vocals of course. And without these vocals I bet she still loves it a lot.

But the comments above also mean that this is a very beautiful song. I mean the melody and how the cello plays along, just like the guitar solo.
Really well done. But be careful not to use too many instruments in your songs. You see, BiaB really encourages that. Dangerous!!!

Hans
Thanks for your generous comments Hans. Unfortunately, I haven't written any lyrics for this song. Yet.
Hopefully, the cello and the melody (chelody?), together with the arrangement and the other instruments, got the message across.
Glad you liked the cello.
Cheers,
Mike
