I'm not so sure it's worth recording though. It lasts for the moment, never more. I'm not saying that there are no non-cliche love songs because there are hundreds of them but it's a very tricky area. In your case you stand for something very broad, well documented and accepted general "love mood" especially on the most common instrument, the guitar. So my question would be. Why do we feel this is love sonically? Isn't it because this is what we immediately associate with it? Sorrow and love. Basic feelings. Very easy to express yet almost impossible to do it in an interesting way. and I'm not so sure feelings are that simple nowadays. I'm almost never in a definite mood. it's always mixed. like always. this is why i don't believe in this piece although I perfectly know what it tries to recall. You made a very nice recording on a very mellow sounding instrument very pure and everything yet you remain on an uninteresting territory. What's interesting to me? Something I don't really know but charms me. Something unpredictable yet perfectly understandable. This piece I know 100%. I can hear it every night in my head. And maybe 9 people out of 10 would associate this piece with love. So in this sense congratulations! It's an another love song... a decent one... you are a good player as well! i can hear you are intimate with your instrument. that's a good thing.
