I like the grit, the piano sounds great, like a hopeful waiting period, and when the strings kick in H*CKIN' YAS. This would be an excellent end of side A on whichever album Baby Girl shows up on. Trying to figure out if there's anything you can't do well.

oohhh nice way to chill down with the piano next to your other tracks. but still keeping some tension with the pulse. strings are cool too, nothing to die for but they serve their purpose. great work!

Wow...thank you

This last week was A Lot....I'm glad the hair pulling resulted in something worthwhile. I should answer the Clue Phone faster when I'm struggling, it usually means I should head in another genre direction. 

Thanks! I'm glad I was able to at least post something I liked, glad you liked as well. Also, Nothing to Die For will be my next hashtag LOL

I should think about more combinations of grit and beauty. One of my favorite tracks on Downward Spiral is A Warm Place, especially considering what it's surrounded by on the album.

Really lovely. Committing to a singular musical idea and then building around it is much more challenging than people think - I struggle immensely with this - and I think this piece blossoms and excels because of your commitment to that wonderful  piano. Really beautiful piece.

Pretty piece, love the strings

This is so beautiful. It’s so interesting to see how people interpret songs. MRDRCAT thought of it as a good soundtrack to hopeful waiting period, but I immediately thought of it as a bittersweet goodbye. The grit and underlying pulse compliment the piano and strings beautifully. The little octave lick that comes in at 3:08 really perked up my ears!

Thank you so much. I like trying to take a theme and have it grow - with the challenge being to keep interest and make it expand without being repetitive. I think I could have condensed the last two repeats on this one...

Thank you!

The octave was a bit of an accident - and a happy accident at that. Thanks!

That's a neat observation in the difference of interpretation...and that vagueness is somewhat intentional. The track is a bit of an exercise in duality - joy and sadness, beauty and dirt...and is somewhat ambiguous because of how much time it spends going between the major and minor

This is very lovely, and very peaceful, but I can also see a guitar shredding over this, wailing along, peacefully.
