"I totally felt the alley thing. That is what I visualized before I read the description. I really like groove. The drums and bass work well with each other. Whatever that swelling thing is, that is good too. The pentatonics work well with the groove.  This piece definitely has style and artistic choices. I think the music fits the dialog really well!"

"Steve you've captured the vibe perfectly. Best piece I've heard from you so far, well done mate! I really love baroque so I dig the Vivaldi feel. You obviously have worked long and hard on it. Very well done Steve!"

"Wow this is great! I find it so hard to write such happy music as this, but yeah this was really enjoyable. I think it is a great thing you're doing for your friends, and I suspect it will go down very very well.
 

...this was very good my friend. Your music is having and will have a greater effect than you can imagine."

"OOoooohhhh!! I like!! Very solemn and sad sounding. Definately plays off of the vocal. The music really provides that addittional emotion for the part. Great job!"

"Great work Steve!!!

Very subtle and controlled and hits the mood dead-on. It would have been a terrible mistake to make that too big. The first thing that struck me was the small hit or mood change, right before "my heart..." - very nice work; that moment really sold the dialogue for me."

"And it is awesome! I haven't downloaded the one with narration yet, but the instrumental is all I want anyway.

I loved the runs you sometimes threw in there. They sounded nice and natural.

Great piece Steve. Beautifully intimate. Keep it up!"

"As my brother says "You've either been through shit or your full of shit." I dont want to justify your suffering but I am benifiting from it by emersing myself in this piece of art. Top notch. I love the gental progressions downward as though the world if falling. This without a doubt falls into my favorite mood of music. I dont know if you normalized this or not but if it were a bit louder I could through this in my monster random playlist and it could stand next to my dream theater whilst I close eyes and hope for sleep."

"This is a really joyful and celebratory song. Great harmony and orchestration as seems your pattern. Great arpegios they harmonize really well.

No comments production wise, every element was properly subordinated under its master.

Good work Steve. I hope to get a gift this cool when/if I get married."

"Yeah mate this is very grand, love the arpeggiated strings sound, I would love to see a scored copy of this so I could read through it as its played.

They must be very precious friends for you to write them such an amazing piece.

Congrats my friend, that was a really nice thing you did."

"Dude! you orchestrate so well!! I love the tones and chord structures you go for. Always a thrill to listen to your stuff.

I would love hear what you could do with the Vienna Library. You do such an incredible job with what you have. Anyways Great job. And I definately think this sets the tone for the movie."

"WOAH!!!!

I read the description as I listened to the piece, and it was like reading a book to music. It paints such a perfect picture, the mood switch is awesome, super effective. And the very very beginning seems to hint that it's going to get dark later on, but it's so subtle.

The happy in this piece is just good man, flat out good. Then when the despairity kicks in, I got sad... I feel bad for the poor lad, losing happiness, the rejection of it... CURSED WOMAN!"

"Man, this baby is just ripping out the inspiration in you! I gotta get me one of those. Fantastic piece. Those drums and rythms are really cool. Like the breakdown at 1:01...very nice. Things start to get dark and creepy, and you bring in some fantastic strings there as well. The ending is well done, leaving you hanging and a little unsettled. I like..."

"Steve, Dang man, you must have gotten a TON of inspiration from this new little creation of yours! I think its great that things like "Life" can inspire one to make music like this. Its just so damn happy! Which.. ya, that's a good thing!

It even kicks into a little beat which is very nice too. Soothing and grovvin'"
