Thank you very much. I found the poem compelling, and was glad to have an opportunity to add a backing.

Thanks, cdk. I like for it to sound peaceful.

you are so very kind. I’m pleased that you listen and comment. People have been so kind to me here, and I appreciate it.

The original poem really spoke to me. Perhaps you could take my beginning and add an instrumental break in your style, to move this piece to the next generation.

Honesty my friend, your music speaks volumes and deserves much much more attention.

As for me contributing, it’s already downloaded and queued. :)

I never really appreciated chill sounding songs until I listened to the ones you and shockshadow did. Now I find myself straying over in that direction sometimes. Thanks for the kind words—an amazing poem, I think.

Many thanks. You have such a great touch with song creation and production that I’m quite flattered by the praise.

I still want Jaysun to read one for me in a month or two here, but I hope to choose something other than heroin on the streets for that one :). There’s some things that a child’s voice can do so well, but perhaps not that.

Thank you for the review. I think your suggestion a good one, because the introduction of beats into the piece in the latter half was something I considered. I think of the piece as more a matter of downtempo electro-beats, similar to the Creative commons artists psonikadia or henri pettersen. But a serious drum sound might work, too. I toyed a bit with a cymbal loop, but ultimately decided to fall back on sleepless’ wonderful little cymbal crescendo and a much more minimal sound. Thanks for the ideas, though, and I appreciate your commenting.

Thanks, Verian. It’s a different thing from the things I used to post on garageband and soundclick, for sure.

Speaking of which, “fields of endless grass” is in the review stage over at garageband.com, and it’s fun to read what people say.

Thank you, Marco. I love doing videos that way. I am ready for you to do another classical-type song like “blowing snow” again, as my video of “blowing snow” now has several hundred views on youtube, and I need more similar hits to work with as I have video fun! :)
