Fantastic work. The first third of it is my favorite thanks to the (for lack of a better phrase) quiet beauty you have on display. But then again, once the song gets into gear I really enjoy it; I have a weakness for songs with a manly and heroic quality to them, and you nail both here with ease. It just has this triumphant feel that makes me want to climb a mountain or something.
Winter may be my least favorite season, but this song (for lack of a non-corny phrase) makes me feel the heat. Impressive work, indeed!
