Description : I go back to Florida in a week. A song for the girl waiting for me there.

Two minutes, one take, written on the fly, recorded from a phone, cleaned up as much as I could. Added a number of storms and rain samples from the freesound project. GNU license on this one.

Definitely interesting glad you said everything you did about it in your description because it makes it quite dynamic in the end, and really captures some moments interestingly. Cool

Having recently been experimenting with bring "field recording" ambient sounds into my own work, I'm really excited to hear someone else doing it as well. The piano in conjunction with the storm is really compelling. Nice work with this (though I concur about the mic situation). Hope it goes well for you with Erin (one of my daughter's has this for her middle name). Cheers.

I used five different rainstorm and thunderstorm field recordings and panned them around the head to give a nice stereo sort of feel to it. They add a nice background that can really flesh out an otherwise empty piece. I hope you make something interesting if you try messing around with them. I'll check out your track list every now and then.

Thanks man. I sat down and this came tumbling out of my fingers. If my piano was tuned better, I might bother getting a mic, but since I leave town for 9 months in a week, I don't think it's worth the investment right now.

I appreciate the review.
