This is brilliant and beautiful - considering everything you had to include it's amazing that you did it all so well. Impressive work. :-)

I love this! Really got the chills when the cello and flute came. It started dark and got brighter.

And that key shift half way through really elevates the feeling!
I like that this song starts with a dissonance.

I love the subtle string sections, adds a warm texture to the song

What a beautiful flute or is it a cello? A whole of sweetness!
The mysterious fog in the woods piques the listener’s curiosity to find out more! What kind of magical forest is this?

I love how delicate the piano feels in the beginning :)

congrats on earning your seed comments! this weaves them together quite masterfully into a musical journey that feels like the soundtrack to some mist-laden adventure video game (not that i'm a gamer)... or a wordless animated film, where the music carries the story...
