My wife is addicted to Downton Abbey. All I have heard over the last few weeks is "I can't believe Matthew is dead" and "I can't believe they killed off Matthew." I have no idea who Matthew is but apparently my wife was pretty taken by him.
All joking aside, this was a beautiful piece. Congrats.

Dave I can understand your wife's addiction Dave. Downton Abbey, through Jessica Findlay (Sybil) cast a spell on me as well. Thank you, John

John,
This is an interesting idea, to depict a character and how they effected you personally.....
I would say this is a very romantic and man's point of view of Sybil...As a woman, Sybil was fiesty, wanting change, willing to stand up for what she believed in and willing to help others fight. She bucked the system with the person she married and died a very painful and tragic death....None of that was in there, this was more of a "she was visually lovely", but there was none of her tanacity within the notes.
It is very pretty though.
I am still upset about Matthew ding dang it!!

Tammy I should have mentioned that this was inspired by Sybil’s dying scene. Very touching. Thanks Tammy! Best, John

Hi John,
I don't watch the show but I loved listening to your song. As it played I could imagine scenes flashing by depicting her life.
I like how you can make out the individual instruments getting louder and softer at times ... like a full orchestra ... amazing!
It sounds very beautiful, thanks for sharing it.

Glen Thank you Glen! Glad you noticed the instrument volume variations and panning. I tried to "think" string orchestra while recording. Best, John
