For years this song has been my lullaby and the thing that calls me down when I'm upset. Today I bought the sheet music. I'm determined to be able to play this perfectly.
I love where your music takes me, this one in particular. Always different places and yet with similar situations. I suppose as I get older, songs that never change are reinvented to accommodate where we find ourselves in the here and now. Interesting though, they still carry the finger prints of the original feeling that drew us to the music in the first place. Congratulations, your music now has a bit of immortality as I'm certain that as long as your music is played, there'll be persons who will follow. Cheers to that.
To answer everyone's question... Yes my music is considered modern or contemporary. Sometimes it is filed under new age but that is a poorly defined term when it comes to my music. Always liked the term 'heavy mellow'. Philip Wesley
“Now the standard cure for one who is sunk is to consider those in actual destitution or physical suffering—this is an all-weather beatitude for gloom in general and fairly salutary day-time advice for everyone. But at three o’clock in the morning, a forgotten package has the same tragic importance as a death sentence, and the cure doesn’t work—and in a real dark night of the soul it is always three o’clock in the morning, day after day.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Crack-Up

I'm 15 and just started learning piano about 3 months back and this is the type of piano I strive to not only play in my life time, but compose as well.
This is beautiful.
To be able to to capture melancholic emotions in a song is a great feat in itself, but to also be able to put in hope and optimism through the melancholy in the same song. Words cannot describe how amazing this is.
Philip Wesley is the Beethoven of our time. His music has so much power and soul in it I have never felt music like this before. Its a shame everyone is obsessed with Pop Culture and music...this is an artist that needs more recognition
