This song has a good sound to it. One of the few songs you'll hear that has no percussion. The song doesn't go to too many places, but the places it does go are at least interesting - it's a very short song, at any rate, and doesn't get tedious. I'm not too crazy about forgoing endings in favor of looping back to an earlier point, which this song does, but it's not too bad. Fairly nice chord progression. If there were any stereo effects, I didn't notice them. Could have added some depth to the song. The loop on the guitar sample doesn't sound so good (now I know why very few guitar notes in this song lingered for too long). Considering that only three samples were used, the author was able to make pretty good use of them and develop a reasonably interesting ballad. Nothing I'm going to write home about, but pretty good work.
