Great stuff. I think when I imagine myself as a great keyboardist, this is what I imagine sitting down and playing.
Love the arrangement and atmosphere. And I am a sucker for a contrasting breakdown/middle8.
Two things that felt ever so slightly 4 stars instead of 5:
- misconceived (pause) dangers and enemies - I'd really try to keep them joined up (by drawing out the syllables or breaking with rhythm...)
- what was given - sounded a bit anticlimactic if just two identical 8th notes - I'd like a jump up or down to the "en"...
But just one listener's (picky) thoughts. A really enjoyable ballad.
