This indeed tells a story without words -although it would accept a vocal flowing over the melody nicely.

Whoa! I'm falling behind--sorry I haven't reviewed your incredible output for a few days. Amazing how you can put out so much and keep that quality up--everything is so delightfully "mood-setting" and enjoyable. ❤️

As a lyracict I always have a hard time giving feedback on instrumentals.

This feels sad, and longing, with a bit of hope poking through.

I pictured an old home movie reel of a family getting ready to set sail to America. I imagine the fun mugging in front of the camera. Kids frolicking, dad looking distinguished and mother looking somewhat contemplative...somewhat distant to what is happening. It's a bit of apprehension and anticipation. Beautiful piece, Nadia. Your gift shines brightly as always hoped for.

Very nice piece. You are great at setting a mood that goes with the pictures you choose to post with the music. I can picture a young woman on a boat coming into New York Harbor when I hear it. Nice work!
