What a tune! One that surely deserves to live on in the 'tradition'.

[@baTonkaTruck]

I hope this 2:00 is always here, forever, long after we’re all gone, so everyone will know we did alright sometimes.

[@jamespuleo3269]

Just beautiful. I love how you leave space for the melody to breathe and for the notes to ring ~~~~
