This is a neat little song. I was expecting a chip song with this file size, but ended up with a piano / rock organ ballad. It's pretty short, only about ninety seconds, but it's a very nice listen. I kinda wish it were longer - I'm sure the author could have gone places with this melody. The song doesn't have an ending, it loops back to the beginning - it's a clean loop, with no hanging samples. I'm on the record for not caring for this way of ending a song, but it's at least done well enough here. The samples are all small in size and of low quality. However, the author is able to produce some pretty good sound out of them. I like the organ sample - even though when listening to it the loopback point is glaringly obvious, it actually adds to the overall sound in the song itself: it sounds like a rock organ, with the vibrating effect to it and everything. The author really looks like he took a lot of care in tracking this song out, effects are all appropriately used, and the song uses volume levels to its advantage, making the most out of the somewhat limited resources.
