Thank you for the detailed comment! Was not expecting such praise, honestly. Appreciate you taking the time to get your thoughts down and share them with me. I'm really glad you enjoyed the piece and that it was able to stir such a variety of feelings in you. I think a lot of people were caught off-guard by the middle section, so hearing that it was well received is both a relief, and a delight! The part from 2:15 onwards was my last ditch effort to fill out the remaining minute so I could submit it so I feel a little iffy about it myself, however reading your comment has made me feel a lot more appreciative of it, so thank you again. :)
Major respect taking the time to detail your thoughts so thoroughly and share the love. I wish you all the best in this competition, also. Take care!
