Hi,

I was asked to write a song for a medical conference in my medical
school about the tsunami disaster. It is going to be accompanied with a
video of pictures of the aftermath of the tsunami.

I would love to know what anyone thinks of the song, and how you think it could be improved/changed.

It is the first song that I have ever tried to record and master using
my new hardware ("Studio Proj. B1" & "EmU 1820m" & "Cubase"
& "An electro-acoustic Ibanez Talman TCM50VBS")

I only took up the guitar last easter, so sorry if the guitar work is a
little shoddy at parts. I'd love to know how you think I could record
differently to obtain a better sound if you think at parts that the
guitar sounds wrong.

Hi,

I've updated a new version of the song. It is completely reworked, and
rerecorded. It is a bit unconventional the song structure, but I think
it works.

Thanks for taking the time to listen,

all work well together.
