Enjoyed it immensely!

Thanks, Andrew. Hypnotic, mesmerizing (yet with consciousness) is a good way to absorb the wonders mentioned. Yep, minor keys play in my head while walking through the forest. A flatted 3rd seems to be more humble and respectable of the experience.

Thanks, Bob. Yeah, you mention a rather LARGE wonder. Man... kind... Nature and music are the respite. i figure this is my part. You're right though, i fell like Nero or something.

Great vocals, super arrangement, perfect band and MONSTROUS outro. Oops, there I go again.

Super song!
Haha, thanks, Ron. I'm trying but can't see the monster. That's when they get ya though. I guess as long as it's a Disney monster we're safe.

Enjoy whatever happens!
