Touched by your description of this song’s story/meaning/inspiration. That this music is a real soundtrack to a particular (and relatable) journey of yours. I love the hope, gratitude, and acceptance expressed in spite of the presence of pain. I’ll go ahead and say, I think in every section of the song, the music beautifully conveys its intended meaning. Aside from the music’s effectiveness at storytelling, it’s beautiful to listen to. Thank you as always for sharing this piece of yourself and your story Marcel
🙏🏽 I’m once again humbled and excited to hear this piece resonates with you, Stuart. Thank you for your kind feedback and for sharing your impressions. Looking forward to reading your mails when I have a time slot available 🙃 Talk soon!
@@marceldominic Hey Marcel, sorry for the delayed answer I had a lot of work to complete this week. Well, I am not a big fan of the transition part you added around 3.00-3.30. But your percussion play after was really nice, so overrall I would go for the second (original) version.
@@Fingerstyle-Magazine No worries at all. Ah, yeah I absolutely get that. Thank you for your feedback. It is a somewhat weird part and comes in pretty abruptly. I decided to go with my gut feeling and write it this way after all. It fits my personal narrative for the song. However, that is also part of the reason I wrote the alternative Contemplative Version, because some days I just want to listen to “pure” fingerstyle without any fancy stuff and figured some people might feel the same.
@@marceldominic Yes it's a good thing to do to write for yourself and what you would like to hear. Always more enjoyable than let's say trying to fit techniques just for the potential audience ^^. Oh, out of topic but I m writting an article theses days on the relation between fingerstyle artists and musical theory so I m trying to collect data. Would you mind telling me your relation to the musical theory and your musical background ? No pressure, if you don't want to or do not have time it's perfectly fine
@@Fingerstyle-MagazineSorry for the late response. If it’s still of any value to you I’ll just quickly say that I had a year of classical lessons at the age of 11, learning Christmas songs and what not. It was there and later through music as a school subject for two years that I learned some basics of theory. After that I had one year of lessons in electrical guitar focusing more on practice and techniques, but it was here when I first learned of modes. It was only a couple years later (2020) that I started writing my own fingerstyle guitar music using songwriting and playing techniques that I applied from songs and tutorials from Calum Graham, R.D King, Andy McKee, Maneli Jamal, Trevor Gordon Hall and more. These days I don’t think of theory whatsoever, but I have a strong feeling that more knowledge could be beneficial for me in situations where I’m looking for how to make a song wholesome and more interesting.
Hey there, thanks so much. At the time of writing I’m afraid I don’t have tabs available for this song, but they’ll be done at some point. You will then find them on my Bandcamp page. Would you like for me to get back to you / to this comment once I got them done? Let me know and all the best.
So beautiful, Marcel! 😍 And your description of what the song is about - I can relate to it so much! Warms up my heart and brings me to tears. 🥹

Beautiful 🥰
Good job mate
Ok, so it's a solid composition, very nice Marcel
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it.
I’m curious. Do you prefer one version over the other after having listened to both?
