Story behind the song
I wrote the first minute of the song and was feeling pretty good (the chord structure was a takeoff on clair de line). The my mentor said, 'nice introduction of chords, now where is the main melody?'. Depondingly I went home and that weekend wrote the moving melody you hear in the 2nd minute. The piano seemed the right instrument to play the melody and as I wanted the cello to repeat the melody, the string quartet became a sextet (bass added for bottom).

beautiful......got a little jazzy and film score feel,the piano is great,composition sounded like a ballade to me,its touching..........the only thing i dont like is that strings sounded cheap,my ears want to hear real perfomance(i think this is a perfomance from a daw?),just to make a balance between (great)composition and sound
