I listened to the instrumental first. I reminded me of the sort of song I'd hear at the end of a Miyazaki film - melancholic with some interesting shifts to the minor.

Very nice, but what a difference adding a vocal makes! Kiana does an awesome job laugh

The arrangement is great - it supports the vocal and stays out of the way of the vocal. There's an interplay between the vocals and the strings, but not enough to draw attention away from the vocal.

My only disappointment is the oboe - it sounds a bit more like a harmonica than an oboe. But I'm really picky when it comes to oboes!

I really like this! Excellent orchestration, beautiful melody, well sung. A real treat. smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
