@Fassbinderisdead It was meant to be sad. From the poem in the album liner notes, this song represents the final stage of life, using the metaphor of Christmas lights - "...if one light should fail, the others would still burn bright..."
I really came to love this piece. My friend in class played it once and it was amazing. It was amazing because she played it fast but it was beautiful. I would love to find a recording online of someone playing it faster because I can't hear my friend play all the time. But you did play it beautifully as well!
You aren't the only one! There are several of the quieter/slower songs by Mannheim that do that to me... I feel like it's just the stress flowing out of me though...
5 Stars & Favorited. I've loved Mannheim Steamroller ever since their 1st album & have seen them live twice. Wonderfull shows. Your playing really captured their spirit. Thank for sharing.
Maybe some chors or strings can make it brighter ... anyway very nice melody !

Fantastic. Most people aren't aware of the fresh Aire Seires, thinking that Mannheim Steamroller is strictly a Christmas group

Love it. But would have sounded better if you had used a real piano with a microphone.

at 0:25 you need to bring the thrid note in that arpeggio up to an F, not C sharp.

Thanks, I'm thinking that you may only have heard your mom's version and not heard the original from the record.
The original recording is almost exactly the speed I played it, if anything, the original recording, might even be a touch slower. : )
