Well, I don't feel like writing a massive review right now, even if this song certainly deserves one :D
I love the melodies, and most of the dynamics, along with everything else.
Those footsteps in the beginning were important for this piece, I'd say, even if TheDoor6 seems to think they were superfluous. However, at the end I would have wanted them to be slightly different; I think it would be cool if it sounded like they were walking away, and if you faded them out, instead of just letting them walk like nothing had happened. Still, I understand that symbolically, it might be best if they remained consistent.
This is one of my favourites from you, for sure! I personally like the fact that you occasionally didn't use that many instruments, this song definitely reaches the emotional plane better than many other pieces do! And oh do I love those transitions at 3:21 =>, 5,17 and , 6:02 =>
And Boom! We have that long section after 6:20 :D
You know, after this I was only waiting for the piano to be introduced as a solo instrument once more, before the inevitable footsteps at the end (hey, you've got a song with the shortened name "Footsteps" too, I just remembered XD). Well, the piano didn't turn out to play entirely by it self at the end, but I still think you pulled off the ending well :')
I love the calm beginning of the song too; this track has so much developement! Rawwrr! But seriously, I love it. Its a shame that people don't always have attention spans that are longer than a couple of minutes (I'm often guilty of this too).
Aaaaannnnddd, I'm off rambling again :p
There were a few (very) minor "issues" with this track, but they are so insignificant that I don't feel any need to point (some of) them out :')
As usually, great job ;)
