Bluewing has no artistpage in MA, which is too bad in a way since this song proves that he can make some goodsounding music without being so professional. Or at least thats how this song makes me think.=) I don't know if this song can be think as a ballad since it is so melancholic and propably has nothing to do with sweet love, but it is slow and beautiful. It starts with nice synthpianopattern in the background and some birds singing for a moment. Strings fill the air and drums give some strenght to otherwise so fragile mood. So another synthpiano comes along and it is the leadsample in this point,but after a moment it is replaced with highpitched leadstring. Then those unite for a second before some slowdown. In this calm part piano starts to sound like that the whole song would get some more speed but that does not happen ; the song continues for a moment like it played in the beginning and then it fades away... The song was very simple from its structure, but this is again one of those songs where the tone of song means more than actual tracking. I liked the sad feeling in this song and musically this song was very nice. Good song Bluewing.=) Most of the samples used were 8-bit quality, but I liked the samples that were chosen to this piece. There was panning in some samples, but the effects weren't used that much - slides mostly. There was also some very nice use of effectsamples like rain, thunder, bird singing and laughter. Those sounded very nice since those weren't playing all the time. And as I said, the athmosphere was lovely created. It is too bad that the songs that somehow touch the listener are so often inspired by something negative. I'm not sure if that was happened in this song,but it seems and sounds like it...
