Oooooh, man, I heard this as a wip, and knew it would be great.

Very beautiful (if a bit slow). Guitars are well done, vocals are beautiful. Percussion is brilliant.

Overall, very beautiful mix.

Oh this went straight to my MP3-player. Listened to it over and over again on my way to work. Very soothing.

I can imagine making love to a woman with this melody in the background. So yes, it is a sweet cover version of the theme. And well, it is a sweet slow song

Yep, very nice piece of music. I especially liked the acoustic guitar "pangs" in the second half, especially when combined with voice. Very enjoyable to listen to!

I love the laid back style of this mix and the vocal/ string duet at the end.

This is very enjoybale to listen to overall. It's the most relaxing remix that I can recall listening to in quite a while.

As good as I remember it from the WIP thread, only this time with the benefit of having the intonation issue in the vocals at the end replaced with some beautiful harmony. I normally prefer songs to be energetic, but something like this has such a nice harmonic quality, it is equally excellent. Must be the northern European sense of melody shining through.
The texture of the guitar contrasts the smooth pads and vocals perfectly, and the drums subtly punctuate the structure without being over or under-bearing. I really like this track and i'm glad to see it on the front page.

Highly recommended.

I like the lofi sound (about as lofi as you can get on OCR), good use of tabla as well. Very good.

Oh wow, djpretzel wasn't kidding about the Twin Peaks vibe. I'm totally catching it.

I'm loving this. Not sure how I feel about the percussion at times. Perhaps they're a bit MIDI-ish. It's not too much though to take away from the overall song. I wonder if more acoustic sounding drums would work better, but I don't know.

The vocals fit the song's style perfectly. You have a very nice voice. Harmonies put this song over the top in a very nice way. There's so much sweetness at the end, so much that in the right mood and setting, would definitely bring emotional tears to my eyes.

Very nice mixing and instrumentation all around.

Good job on this! I will most definitely be listening to this again and again.
