Again, not much more I can tell you about this song. A little more technical orchestration-wise than Rumpy's, but still very emotion-focused... starting in a lighter mood but growing ever more powerful until the end, which, as you know, got to me like few other moments in music have ever done.

And well, apart from maybe slightly lackluster (but perfectly fitting) drums and bass, there's nothing I can point out about this. Beautiful. Especially from interlude on.

Rating is a close call with Rumpy and was down to personal taste, but you get the good news this time...

Good song. Nice progressions. Orchestration was good as was instrument mix. Good structure and atmosphere It was all good but somehow nothing really stood out for me that was better that the others. Solo at bar 174 was ok but weak IMO. Bridge was too long and was where the song lost its momentum a bit. The outro didn't really stand out for me either.

Cornflower is... well... Cornflower. Saw the song be made virtually from start to finish. A fine example of your style, showcasing intricate, somewhat unorthodox chord progressions, saccharine melodies and lush orchestration. Layer upon layer of instruments blend with each other, creating a distinctly Quibokk sound texture. Well done, as you know.

My main gripe with the song has always been the distinct staleness it acquires right after the first chorus. Whilst the section is nowhere near as insomnia-curing as it used to be, it still remains the weak bit of the song, sugary and distinctly uninvolving chords serving as a backdrop for some slight instrument action that never really gets going. You put it back right with the interlude though, and the guitar lead – neatly done, as you know darn well by now. From there on, the song maintains quality right until the end, not losing my interest... I don't know what to advise you, really, since a repeat of the verse should be necessary from a construction point of view... but it just doesn't 100% work to my ear, even though it is infinitely better than it used to be in the first place
