I am so surprised and appreciative. Thank you so much - you did a beautiful job with this and it feels so clean and easy. I have been having a new love for the acoustic.

@megapolisrepost: Cheers for the Big up :)

A wonderful song, with a wondrous feeling and a positive message.  It just doesn't get any better than this.

This is great, love the harmonies well done guys!

My soundtrack for a Sunrise.  Watch the video https://youtu.be/d4uzsUIdEr8
The calm pre-dawn with its promise of the new day to come is broken by the sun piercing the horizon.  Light streaks across the sky, kissing all it touches with gold.  Mundane objects are transformed into works of art by the beauty of this first light. Then the majesty and power of the suns slow warming ascent. 

...and yes I went there, I used tubular bells!

REMASTERED with Fast Balancer.

A little tribute to "Firefly" TV series.

The idea to create this track came to me while testing @spitfire-labs Lap Steel library which came to my attention thanks to @baramataharipagi.

Disclaimer: I have no affiliation to producers of this series. I didn't use any of the music from it. It's pure fan production inspired by "Firefly's" atmosphere.

Butterfly's achievement 

far more dangerous and at a greater distance 
a purring cat is lying next to a dying bird 
and we don't dream no more 

the story of the envellop 
was so much bigger than the letter 
my body is a temple of which the roof collapsed 
and I don't dream no more 

it is a butterfly's achievement 
to blindly follow rules 
etched deeply in its intestines 
with the tiniest of needles 
and it doesn't dream no more 

the deed was done 
the story written 
had a lot to be thankfull for 
but noone to thank
dreams don't dream themselves no more 

each one tries to fit in the previouses footprints 
tries to repeat what doesn't repeat 
footprints are too tight or just a bit too wide 
i guess we'll have to dream some more 

all of us have a past, we can only dream a future 
i have seven dreams a minute 
and they all split up in two, or three, or four, or more 
i grasp to keep them with me 
to read before dispose 
i just don't have the eyes for it 
its a freakin' overdose
