"Very enjoyable."

k, I really enjoy the beginning. The title coupled w/ the opening relays images of some american hero, mebe set in the 50s-esque, waking up, looking out a window w/ the sun rising, him looking at a photo of a loved one, and thinking about how he has to leave to serve his country that day. Not only waking from his slumber but into the realization that he could die and never see his love again.
ok, so maybe I am reading into things. But I think there is something to be said of someone who can play/compose/orchestrate a song that conveys such vivid imagery and emotion. It shows said person has lots of talent.
I love the somber, almost hopeful in the face of adversity feel of the song. I felt that it was EQ'd just fine. It didn't hurt the ears at all.
There were some parts where it felt like an instrument would start at an odd time, but as a following note would play, the previous "odd note" felt like it fit. So, I am not really sure if I should vote down for the odd placement, or leave it as is for the unique occurance of it "fitting" after the fact . . . I'll let my rating reflect my choice.
But over all, a great listen. Will go on my Zune and go on the relaxing playlist I have ^___^ Good Job. if you post the live performance on NG, drop me a PM. I would love to hear that as well!

Lol, I think you may have read into it a little far. This piece is actually supposed to be more personal. Have you ever had times where you've woken up while in the middle of a good dream and try to continue it willfully while half asleep? That's what this is about.
Thank you for the review, I should have a live recording next Thursday.
