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 😊

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!
