Gorgeously arranged and produced!! The chords are beautiful and emotional... I loved how the motifs slowly unfolded.

Great track. I love the jazzy chords and the soulful vibe. Well done!

This is really interesting. It sounds like some of the drum parts are swinging but other parts are not and it's cool how they play off of each other. It emphasizes the jazziness of it. I like the way the hi-hat sound around 2:30 starts to sound like a swinging second hand of a clock and by 3:00 it it sounds almost straight again.

The overall feel was quite jazz-ie in a modern way. Some nice reversed sounding parts in there. The cello and vibraphone both sit nicely in the mix and it's almost like the string quartet sound is 'breathing'. I didn't pick out the rain sample at first (just listening on the laptop speakers) but heard it 2nd time round on headphones.

(Maybe I'm just becoming desensitised to the sound of rain - it's rained practically every day since the 1st Jan here in Devon in the UK... 😬)

Really relaxing, I love this groovy drumbeat, deep in time. The instrumentation is great, all these instruments blend together perfectly and create a delicious mix! I really enjoyed this track!
