*nickers and noses the shire* It is a good piece, even if somber. I'm glad you were able to pull this from the ustream recording. It's hard to give praise for a sad thing, but you did do well in communicating the feeling here.

*hugs* It was I that gave the rather sobering statement as to the piece itself originally, and I'm glad you went through and read it back, as I thought it might have been missed a bit due to my rather poor connection last night. Anyway, I had to fight to avoid breaking completely myself. This piece... brings a great number of sad memories back for me, lovely as it is. I sit here, even as I type this to you, crying as the music plays. Thank you, Flare, for such a wonderful piece, no matter how sad it is.

Sounds very solemn... reminds me of a church. Like the music they played while people were walking in to sit down, except more sad. The use of the high notes seems to give it a hopeful air, though... rising up out of the darker notes and flying free.

This is sad. I feel like I've lost one of my RPG characters who I leveled up to 99 :(

*offers the shire some big, warm hugs* <3

*hugs gently*

It is a sol-um reminder how precious life truly is.

Having been to funerals I can tell you the music just cuts into you no matter what you say.

Luckily for me I was saved this time by a woody..

Just to lighten the mood you know

wow... My brother's cat just ate my pet last week... this fits the mood perfectly. Thank you.
