There is a haunting element in the nice piano figure which is magnetic. KISMET's vocals carry the track, very well done! For some reason, the track has a Jim Bouchard ambience to it (to me), which is a good thing. In my ears, tho, the rhythm track is too frenetic, too complicated, for the perfect and light and feminine vocals; consider trying drumming that is more seductive, uses less 16th notes, and is simpler. Its like the drummer is playing on a different song.

As soon as you sent this piece to me, I fell in love with it. The music is so moving that it made it easy to sing to. I like the changes you have made to the chorus, it gives it a nice organic feel. Thanks for asking me to add to your beautiful work.

P.S. I really like the cover art too. It fits the theme perfectly.

Thanks Tobin. I liked the moving, slightly pushing drums. I thought they give this song a more modern character, setting it apart from traditional song writing. One could say the instrumentation borrows from Trip Hop and breakbeats, so it is intended to have a more "moving" drumset. But I appreciate your idea for more regular drums.

The only trouble I have is with KISMET's vocals "sinking" in with the embedding music. This is due to my speaker problem. I don't have a good sound reference other than my headphones. I guess this is what I should change soon, to get some decent monitor speakers, so the mastering will improve.
