Now here we have a song worth listening to. It is a ballad and it was composed by an Estonian tracker called Arenos. Some of his songs have also been in some albums so I guess this guy ain't that bad at all.=) But lets tell something about the facts.. This song has a nice short intro with lovely percussions. In mu opinion those are actually the best thing in this song. Then piano and strings appear into soundworld and the ballad starts to move on... Pianomelodies are very nice and it was also very refreshing that there were also some other samples used instead of piano. It makes a good effect to the song and piano doesn't get "boring" if one might say like that. A small "intermission" in a halfway of the song and then the song starts again with same smooth and neat way... And in the end the song repeats itself into fadeout... I really enjoyed the bellpads and percussions in this song. Pads prevented the piano being the controlling instrument and it made nice variation to the song. And percussions were just enough different than usual, that it made them sound wonderful and effective. Textures and melodies were good and the whole ballad was knitted togehter really well. I liked this tune very much.=) Great job Arenos. Tracking was very nice here - It was simple but worked out fine. Effects weren't used almost at all, but still the song sounded quite professionally composed. Samples were mostly an 8-bits,but the athmosphere was very light and clean. Panning in the samples were good, it gave a nice "floaty" feeling into it. The ending was perhaps just a bit too repetitive, but it is forgiven since the song otherwise was great.=)
