Loved this! I left this piece with the wistful, Mona Lisa smile feeling I get from watching my favorite movies. I love how the register feels cinematic without using any specific tells, and then the piece kind of becomes about movies. And then after I think about it as a voiceover, and that’s fun, too.

Charlie had me at the smell of ponderosa pine trees and kept me in his word-grasp throughout this beautiful piece. Life... indeed.
