A song about a disabled fairy? Interesting.
It's a very melancholy melody and the arrangement reinforces that.
I'd have thought the fairy'd be angry, upset and kicking but sad resignation may be post anger.
Nice work on the controllers.
Cheers

So I'm not the only one who ponied up for the Amadeus library. There's some nice stuff in that library! The mix seemed a bit loud, although the balance was good. Perhaps a bit overly compressed? Or not. I enjoyed the listen, even though I'm sad.

Hi Mario,
It's a sad melody, but with some tension in it on certain points. That gives that 'haunting' feeling Rob mentioned. I agree on that.
But the sentences: 'You are a Fairie that was born with small wings and no "Tinkerbell" abilities. You are very sad' are so nice. They triggered my fantasy during your song (and afterwards), so that is nicely done. Only that woodwinds/flute-sound was a bit to loud compared with the other instruments. To me it worked a bit distracting to the melody.
But having said that, to me this is a very nice fairytale,
Hans

With a song title like that I didn't think I'd say this - but the tune actually suits the name of the song. It has a really magical, and almost surreal beauty to it. I can definitely hear it fitting perfectly in the soundtrack of a fantasy movie. It has a cinematic feel to it, and as Birchwood said before me - it definitely has some tension to it despite the sadness in it's tone. I really enjoyed this one - thanks so much for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

Mario,
Interesting progression that moves this beyond the NewAge style. I enjoy your wind controller work and its the highlight on this... tend to agree with others; it might be mixed a tad high.
Funny intro and title!

Very nicely composed & executed...
It could be an excellent candidate as a backing track for a video (hint hint)...
At least as it played I could see images in my mind...
As always...
Another good job well done Mario!

Magical, mesmerizing, emotional, cinematic and so well produced. The flute is great and it was interesting to note that you used the vocal rider on it. Ultimately, as is your signature, it is nicely melodic! J&B PS Ray's comment about the disabled fairy....

Mario,
This is beautiful track. Well done in all respects.
The mix is well balanced.
Interesting that some are finding it "loud". I played it at 100% of the Soundcloud volume controller - and it seemed fine - after having to turn Hans' ballad down to 30%... Oh well..
I really enjoyed this...

Nice work on the controllers. Thanx Ray. The Fairy went to anger management prior to this song.

Or not. I enjoyed the listen, even though I'm sad. Thanx Dave. Yea that Amadeus library is a good one. Funny in that it doesn't sound loud here. I only added a touch of compression on the master track. I have to look into this.

Different stroked for different folks. But on occasion I do use RTs.
