I was in the RAF (Air Force) Apprentice program with John Barry's nephew! We were trained to be telecommunications technicians. We lost touch after receiving our separate postings.

I don't usually read the other comments, but I did this time and @berni1954 brought up how there's a certain "James Bond" soundtrack feel to this--AND I AGREE. And in a good way--one of the first albums I ever bought was John Barry's GOLDFINGER soundtrack! Another great one, Nadia! ❤️

@berni1954 and @headfirstonly when I was a student, I loved finding connections between musical themes, with all my interests what sounds like something else, I don't hear connection with the specific melodies, maybe some stylistic ways but not melodic. The music I composed here is more like a background or an accompaniment for possible vocals. I think it is possible to find connections between any songs and instrumentals even when people try as hard as they can to do something totally unusual. Everything has been created for so long... Tge greatest baroque composer Johann Sebastian Bach wrote amazing music we still find influences of these days; yet his own music reflects what composers were writing like. To the extent that some of the compositions attributed to him in the past now appears of someone else's. Nothing is new under the moon (or the sun). We can spent our times looking for similarities or enjoy the actual compositions.

Anyway, maybe I developed this idea in my new song (and this rhymes).

This is beautiful and wistful. @berni1954 is right; this does have the flavour of John Barry's work. Not just for Bond, either; remember "The Girl With The Sun In Her Hair"?

There is a real James Bond incidental music feel to this. Bond desperately searching for the lass he slept with the night before, glancing at faces in the crowd, rejecting each one until the camera reveals her face and pans back to reveal she is lying dead on the floor of a shopping mall with onlookers gawping at her. Bond's face shows his agony and the music stops.

I'm not sure I could ever tire of something nostalgic from you! It's very very pretty!
