Story

I've been listening so much to Tim's fabulous rendition that I couldn't get it out of my head and eventually had to do a take of my own 😊

Probably the best take I've ever heard on Yie Ar Kung Fu II!
tim_forsyth shouts:
This is wonderful. It highlights Martin's beautiful melody perfectly. Love the reimagining of the chaotic end to the original. This is a real treat for the ears.

This is sooo nice, Eivind! The soft intro with the piano and the strings, then the cello - just wonderful to listen to. And when the choir comes in at the ~2 minute mark with the lead singer - wow, just lovely.

I think the string legatos could be better, at times they are almost non-existent, making the strings sound a bit robotic, but that is such a minor technical gripe.

What's important here is that this tune is full of emotions - I was actually sad and surprised that it ended so early, somewhat abruptly. Maybe could've used a nice decrescendo outro…

Well done, I quite enjoyed this, thanks for sharing it with us!
