Melancholy piano track with strings. Quiet, minimal piano intro, building in intensity and volume to an undulating piano section accompanied by slowly building sustained orchestral strings. Magical, tinkling piano break before the fast-moving piano returns. Orchestral strings build and build, almost drowning out the piano. Delicate piano outro. Melancholy, moving and powerful, a bit Michael Nyman-esque, a cinematic track to suit bombastic adverts or heightened TV/Film scenes.
