Absolutely gorgeous – from the wonderfully unexpected surprise of you playing flute to Esther's sweet harmonies, *I loved every moment*. I know the nearly indescribable emotion of which you sing; some call it *saudade.* Hard to find words for, yet such a deeply human experience.

Such an beautifully evocative piece, evoking so much visceral imagery; slow-motion running through a forest, dappled sunlight on smiling face, framed by strands of hair in the wind – the perfect soundtrack for a victorious moment – the final scene in a *heroine's journey.*

Such a melancholy song, full of sincere longing – the aching croon of unrequited love. I hope whomever you wrote this for knows the depth of your heart. <3

Stunning composition, as always. I so appreciate your elegant, percussive style. :) <sup> <i>The cameo of woman and dog behind you halfway through the video made me laugh – nice reminder that life keeps moving around us, even during our quietest, most introspective moments.</i> <sup>

I quite enjoyed this rendition, especially your playful combo shaker/strum percussion and bluesy vocals. Good stuff!
