[westpapuanmob]

more than words means a sound or song that tells you an endless story.

'A song that wrenches the heart

O where do i find a knowing ear?'

[ImJimHill]

I was just poking around for various sounds of this tune and yours is a treasure.

I love how the classical guitar style fits so well to the harp tune, and you play both beautifully and with a soft and lovely spirit that suits the melody.

[jnclassicalguitarist]

Thank you very much, Jim!

-Julie

[Fabyr]
