Thanks for listening Signa.
It's strange how music affects people differently. I've been told by other listeners that the music describes "despair" perfectly.
I'm noy sure. I guess it is, what it is, and that's all that it is. As long as listeners enjoy it, I'm happy.
Thanks again, John

Does it describe desparation? I suppose that depends on the listener. A chef and a bus driver would describe despair differently. I heard the despair, and also a little hope. I liked the piece. Thank you.

I felt despair in your piece very much.
I pictured myself on my hands and knees crying, when listening. Really!
Thanks very much for sharing John.
It would make a great soundclip for a scene in a romantic film.

Thanks everyone for your nice comments.
Pianobuff, loved your description of how the music affected you.
Abnerpeabody, I only develop these pieces to about the 4 minute range. I submit these to music film publishers. They’re not usually receptive to more than 4 minutes a track.
Bkek, the way music affects people differently is very interesting. I guess we’d need a musician/psychologist to answer that phenomenon.
Best, John
