I've always liked this source track, with it's super simple pastoral melody, and it's always evoked a sun and sky vibe to me, and I tried to expand on that, but make it a little bit more dancable.
Some kind of subtle new experiments on this one for me, one being a more prominent acoustic guitar lead that trades off with the synth, and then an OA-only choir.
I've head people say that a musician's output reflects their personality, and I think at least in this case, this song is a pretty good indicator of how I am feeling right now, mid-2009. :-)

This gives me warm fuzzies. The source tune is very pleasant, and OA has given us an as-pleasant synth-pop tune, with some acoustic guitar that really makes this unique. I really enjoyed the arrangement, and I think it's good enough to pass.
But I should mention there were some parts I thought could have been improved. The soundscape in the verses was a little empty - some sustained piano or guitar chords would have been great there. The snare rolls sounded limp, and I think a more precise timing of the hi-hat in the intro would have gotten it off to a stronger start. Piddly stuff for the most part, I was happy with this.
YES
