Title
Time Flows On
Description
Time Signature: 5/4
Key: A minor
I wrote this piece in the style of a BGM, for a place where time flows like a river around you.
The way the 5/4 time signature is steady, yet doesn't let you quite settle down, reminded me of how time flows in life. Now matter what happens, time flows on.
Structure:
Intro - A - B - A - Outro
Thanks so much for listening, I hope you enjoyed the music!

Highly magical and enchanting piece. It fits your theme most definitely. Good instrument picks. They elevate your idea a lot. Good stuff!
I really like the celestial feel of this song, it’s very relaxing and fits your description of time flowing like a river. This song actually makes me imagine stars shimmering on a river in the moonlight, similar to the cover art you chose. I don't know how to explain it, but I think the way you used your chosen time signature mixed with the instruments you selected almost resembles flowing water in itself. It reminds me of Waterfall from Undertale, so maybe that's why the connection feels so strong to me. Anyways I really enjoyed this, great work!
Really cool song! Feels ethereal. The intro is great, because I don't hear a time signature at all; I just feel a nice flow of notes without any sense of time, fitting the theme. From 0:43, I feel the 5/4 structure (my favorite time signature!) in there. You use it perfectly, dividing it into 3+2, with the "3" divided into two notes (of 1.5 in length), and the 2 divided into 2 (of 1 in length), but also into 1 (of 2 in length) or even using triplets! Great sound, very calming, and incorporating my favorite time signature well - very nice entry! :D
It reminded me of JRPG music like from a tales game which I gather is kind of your style based on your previous songs. very nice!
