    People were so much better off when nothing was electronic. We have been driven to madness by too many modern inventions. Humans were not meant to live the way we do, at such a speed with too much to juggle and over the top non-stop stress. We become ill both mentally and physically from too much. This music recalibrates our nervous system and allows us to slow down, be at peace, and sleep. As it should be. Thank you for this gift.

    We're walking in the air
    We're floating in the moonlit sky
    The people far below
    Are sleeping as we fly
    I'm holding very tight
    I'm riding in the midnight blue
    I'm finding I can fly
    So high above with you
    Far across the world
    The villages go by like dreams
    The rivers and the hills
    The forests and the streams
    Children gaze open mouthed
    Taken by surprise
    Nobody down below
    Believes their eyes
    We're surfing in the air
    We're swimming in the frozen sky
    We're drifting over icy
    Mountains floating by
    Suddenly swooping low
    On an ocean deep
    Rousing up a mighty monster
    From his sleep
    We're walking in the air
    We're dancing in the midnight sky
    And everyone who sees us
    Greets us as we fly

      @@leif1075 thank you for the question. Yes, the beginning intro I wrote, wanting to create silent footsteps in the air. The middle section, where you hear these came chords descending, but now broken, is also an original part of the arrangement. Just wanted to stretch the main melody a bit. Playing this live in about 40 mins, (with several other pieces) just in case you are interested in watching. Thanks for the question! 😊 🙏

      @RyanMarvel  2 роки тому +5

      Thank you for taking the time to send me your thoughts. My take is that the intro represents the gentle footsteps of 'walking in the air' before the main theme starts. And since it's a pretty repetitive theme, I think delaying it brings a bit of mystery before jumping right in. Just my personal opinion, but I appreciate your feedback.
