This is one of my favorites of your compositions! Your voice fits this song wonderfully! The acoustic and instrumentation is perfect for this type of song. Personally I would not add anything more to this.... I love the simplicity of the mix.... the ending is very moving. Thank you for your music. Many Blessings, Sharon

Great acoustic guitar sound. My suggestion is you need to put some drums, bass and keys to the song. The chorus have that energy and drama. just a suggestion.

Nice emotional performance done with minimum instrumentation. Not easy to do these days ... you carry it well. Excellent hook!!

Powerful Passion in your voice! Loved the mix , Your voice and melody amazes me! So glad you stopped by to say Hi, Hello!

like the chord structure nice

麗しい It truly is! You have a wonderful voice, and the guitar played well. I love the feel of this song. Gina

I think this was the first track of yours that I heard on mixposure, Shy, and I fell in love with it and your wonderful vocals straight away. A really moving piece of music and the vocals are superb.

WOW Shy, your getting a great sound and tone out of your acoustic and your vocal is full and has a nice resonance. most excellent!

Nice tune Shy. Really good vocals. Not that it isn't good as is but I sure would love to hear it with full instrumentation.

Great song, and what a voice ! The only thing is there's too much reverb on the ac guit for my taste. I like the "contrepoint" tronics in the solo part ; I can imagine the same with a breathing harmonium like mine. Are you interested in the clip ?

Excellent track Shy.....Beautiful,thoughtful composing with exceptional production. You left some room for other sounds,textures and ryhthmic goodies. The vocals are superb.Just a great vibe to this song. Larry T....

Great intro, nice to hear acoustic harmonics. Excellent vocal performance, well done on creating a very good song

haunting - very effective mood setter. You did great on the vocal. Fretless bass maybe - lite hand percussion - shaker egg, rain-stick you could flesh this out into a major work and still stay simple. It's very good!

Loved the opening guitar "chimes". A lot of soul and emotion in the vocals. Very interesting song. I'd like to heard some basic drums and bass come in after a verse and chorus or so into the song. Y'know -- start it it out like you did with just the acoustic and vocal, but kick in with the other stuff after the first verse and chorus. Maybe even ... a flute solo? Hmmm ... Still, I like this a lot.

I just LOVE the intro....beautiful....Has a fabulously melancholly feel to it..Cool vocal with sad lyrics...Nice song...:-) Peace N love Mags xx :-)

This track has a nice vocal emotional glue and creates a musical intrigue that is very interesting and appealing to listen to! Nice clean recording with space and unique panned vocal effects too!

My, you DO sing so beautifully. This has a haunting, sound. Very creative and original-- I don't know that I've ever heard anything like it, but the song really draws me into it. Very cool Shy-- and very interesting! Gina

Unique,creative.with an excellent originality.... Most interesting.........very well done !! LT

Very creative blends of texture. I felt alot of emotion in this. Nicely Done.

This is a very interesting track.... the rhythm is one character and the voices another and the fingerpicked guitar bring them together nicely. you created a very unique and very nice vibe.

I like this one very much. The contrasting parts and styles makes a really good piece of writing.

Fantastic sung and it is a sense song. The effect in the background matches very good. Great job you have made my friend.

I'm guessing you wanted that contrast of background against the smooth lead vocal and nylon. It was almost disturbing - but hey, it was effective. All the parts were good. As a whole - It was interesting and evocative.

Once again great track, vocals are excellent, but I found the backing track seemed to be at odds with the overall feel of the song. nevertheless this is a very good song

Ooo yes, this DOES have a Paul McCartney feel to it-- and I know him well! Simple, melodious and a joy to listen to. Your vocals are so clear and bright on this, complimented by the soft classical guitar. Wonderful. Thanks for the smiles! Gina

Great performance Shyonen...vocals have that McCartney feel to them....pleasent. Yes, simplicity is the key. Enjoyed.

What KOR said is true, this is delightful in its simplicity. Nice!

very nice tune. It's simplicity makes it a wonderful listen.

Wow Shy, I have never before heard your vocals in such softly kind. Very clear sung and a great song with only two instruments. My compliment!!! Inge

Lovely performance. I think the "crackle" ( very faint ) Markone heard kinda made it feel like a real record - 33LP . I wouldn't change a thing. This was a pleasure to listen to, thanks.

great track, liked the vocals, and the classical guitar. Dunno if it's my pc speakers, which aint the best. But I got quite a bit of crackle on this. Very nice performance well done

IT`S GREAT !!! I LOVED IT! Neda

Love that rhythm and the gentle guitar picking. Then that gorgeous sounding bass come in. Got me already. But the fun hasn't even started yet because your vocals are still to come. And what vocals they are. Just sensational Shy. The production's really crisp on this track. There is so much passion in the chorus section. Don't agree with Rapster about the solo. I think it fits perfectly. Sensational work, my friend. Cheers Brian

Hey Rapster -- "Take Five" indeed comes to mind. That vocal is so haunting, isn't it? Very tasteful tune and well done. Excellent job of creating a mood.

Yeah you got a fantastic beat and rhythm goin Shy, Beautiful melody.

Nice emotional vocal delivery over a smooth track...lead guitar sound is just right and in character with the piece... sounds good!

Hi Shy, I see you like Dave Brubeck. Although, you do take the chord riff in a different direction. Excellent, expressive vocal! Well done with breathing new life into an old standard! Farrell

I don't know if you're gaining confidence in your posting but your tunes are getting better and better. This one is just fantastic in both writing and performance. Great job, Shy.

This is great !! Great beat and sound but it is the melodies and harmonies in the chorus thats grabs me !Tasty leadwork with great tone. I like it Christer

take five.. love that jazz beat.. well shiho i've read lots of books on gaia so your title drew me in.. man i'd love to solo jazz guitar on this.. backing you up bro.. so it's a very expressive and serious theme you're singing.. so props for that.. you have a powerful pure voice.. remind me in style of some the the thinks that michael nunley here does.. got a musical theater quality to it.. that's a tasty solo man but in jazz you should be palyin the changes bro.. not just pentatonic.. lol.. nah.. only IMO.. sounds cool.. anata wa totemo subarshi desu.. cheers.. :-)

Shyonen-san, it is a very nice song although it sounds a bit familiar to me. Your voice/style is a mixture of Fukuyama Masaharu and many similar Jpop ballad artists. You have a 100% Jpop lover here. Mike

Very PRETTY Song...agreed...a Movie Love Theme. Super tasteful guitar solo....sweet tone fits the beauty of the song. Great Job! Great voice....:-) Rob

Lovely vocal Melody - and well sung. It sounds like a very well constructed love song. Like the main love theme for a romantic movie. Good work.

Shy, man this is another great song with excellent vocals and real smooth music. You create some beautiful melodies. I like the guitar solo...very tastefully done.

Beautiful song, Shyonen.Flawlessly performed. The guitar solo is excellent. They keep getting better and this is the best one I've heard yet. I was hoping you would do one in your own language. Well done.

Very nice solo. Sweet melody and emotionally charged vocal, particularly at the bridge. Well Done!

Beautiful melodies!! but i dont understand the lyrics :)Great sound and well performed. Like the leadwork ! Christer

This is a complete surprise, nice melody, not sure about the lyrics, they sound Japanese to me. Sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong. Liked the solo, it fitted in with the feel of this, just enough. A unique track, very well done
