Thanks for all the great suggestions. The winner is...
“Occidental Park” suggested by Mark Griffith.
I was drawn to the Seattle-ness of the name and realized I've never named a tune for a location. I also liked the idea of paying something back to the park where I've enjoyed so many First Thursdays Art Walks and concerts.
Ok, so I hope this is the right place. I suggest the tune's name is "Ashen Fields", because it reminds me of driving through the German country side pre-spring, snow melted, and the fields spread with ashes to promote growth. I feel very inspired with this tune, and have a specific visual that years for green, sun, and the promise of spring.
E-mail comment: Emerging Spring. Spring Awakening. I listened to it twice with my eyes closed. My first thoughts were of a variety of buds and shoots just beginning to emerge on a warm spring day. The view panned out to take in a larger vista of rebirth. Then in the middle a little bit more melancholy like a late spring snow, followed by the renewed warmth of the sun. Probably not where you were thinking, but this is what it created in me with no forethought. Oh yea, I liked it a lot. - Dave
"West End Avenue." It reminds me of strolling down West End Ave on the upper west side in New York around 8pm (which is what I was doing last night on my way to rehearsal). West End is a block of Broadway. It's more quiet and calm than Broadway but still has purpose and direction. People were out casually walking their dogs on their way to Riverside Park amidst the great architecture. I miss the longer hair! Still handsome though. - Mechelle

Melanous (or Melanosity). It is an adjective meaning "having a dark, swarthy complexion and dark-colored hair." Well, it was worth a shot. I like the song. - Jonathan
Nate, You hit it right on the head! The song should be called "Name Our Tune" because everybody will interpret it differently. Everybody will have a name for it , that's the beauty. And it has never been used before. Take care my friend
I loved your tune.... I still can't decide what it should be called. My images were: urban, black& white cinema, cigarettes & cocktails, yearning.... stuff like that. When I can figure out a title, I'm naming that tune! - Marta
"Night Rail" It sounds like a train traveling through a dark misty night with two people onboard falling in love. Go figure. - Rick
Sounds like two people going on a romantic walk together at night in the city. They fall in love and start to dance under the full moon and starlit sky. (Sorry not good at the title thing) but its an awesome piece!

Nate, my friend Carma Lee Mitchell wants to "Name that Tune", her suggestion for your untitled song is "Seaside Stroll",.

I can't help but agree with byronschenkman and Meanute. Both suggested really good names.
