This song is John's first one ever. I couldn't find him from our artist list at least with his real name, so I guess that he ain't the most active tracker among us.=) But I think he should. If this really is his first song , he could be anything with little practising. This is a very promising song from a new guy...=) This ballad begins with the best thing of this song : Soft strings and a lovely "pianobell" (dunno the instruments official name). It just sounds so damn great. Then the artist begins to add more spices to this soup. Normal piano and flute enters to this calm soundscape. There is also some percussions. Rimstick and Shake, which is in a way too bad, since I can imagine a great and powerful drums into this song or then there shouldn't be any percussions at all. Well, it goes ok with this way too.=) The melodies are quite good. I think that the artist does play some instrument in real life, or then he is a gift of nature. On the other hand, I've heard songs before where newbies have created something very beautiful, just with the power of love.=) And with that I mean that when there is a strong emotions behind composing, it always sounds nice.=) After listening through this piece, I was left with a good feeling. This song surely ain't anything magnificent, but it is good enough to download and listen. Hope to hear more from this guy someday.=) Technically this song ain't nothing special. It is quite simple with the same background all the time, simple percussions and quite "normal" leads. The piano that was chosen to this piece wasn't the best one. It is little out of tune and does not sound so smooth than the other samples. But when thinking that there was only 6 samples used (one 8-bit and rest 16-bit), the result is ok.=) Some slides were used from effects but overall the tracking was pretty basic stuff. Nice job anyway.=)
