    “Dear incredible person reading this,
    This is for the ones who are struggling right now .💔 This is for the ones who have been having a rough day or week or even year .🎈 The ones who feel like this storm will never end . Keep fighting for you . Not for your friends , not for your family , but for you💕 . Keep fighting because deep down you hold a tiny voice that knows you were meant for far more than this sadness and pain you are feeling 🌈. Keep fighting because the person you will be on the other side of all this is cheering for you so much . Keep fighting because you will get there . And it will be worth it .💝💡

    Cheering for You🎀
    Love From a Self-development Youtuber💛🖤.

    First song remind me a song White Bird by The Beautiful Day. The second song is really inspired by Malian folk music. Well done!

      interfuckingmission – After reading your post I tried the melody for White bird over the track and it worked pretty well. Good ear, pilgrim. Be well.

    Thank you! A tonic to the jaded ears of an old man with a wide range of musical interests and influences. Fresh, spirited and beautifully played and with thoughtful visual direction helping to understand the interplay of the instruments. Eight and a half minutes well spent.
