This song starts with beautyful harps which gives a very sad atmosphere. When I first heard this I knew right away that this is something different, something what really is good. As I said, this has a very sad atmosphere, not only 'cause of the harps, mostly 'cause of the flute and strings. This piece is something what I can't explain... Emotional, yet still so sad but beautyful. You can't put the music in words, atleast I can't. Not this song. I'm a bit disappointed to the lenght of this song, it's only about 1:20 long... I think this is an ohc tune and I think that this piece probably won the ohc. All I can tell you is that you must hear this song, no matter if you're a "trancer" or a "metalhead". Overall: This piece really should make you feel something. Emotional, depressive song. Short but sweet, but hey, if the shortness bothers just put repeat on and it doesn't feel so short. Good backgrounds and leads, I still can't believe that someone really could do this kind of work in an hour. You really have to hear this one. What comes to the technical part... I can't say much. As this is an ohc tune (probably), I can't say that the samples aren't as good as they might have been. Or I can say that and I said it already but that's not the artist's fault. Nice effects with lead and surprise, there are some crescendos and diminuendos (volume changes) in the leads and harps. They kinda makes this song alive, like it was played by a real orchestra.
