This indeed tells a story without words -although it would accept a vocal flowing over the melody nicely.

love your piano playing! wonderful attention to harmonic flow, and overall just super tuneful... it feels bittersweet to me. adore it, looking forward to checking out more of your work :)

Whoa! I'm falling behind--sorry I haven't reviewed your incredible output for a few days. Amazing how you can put out so much and keep that quality up--everything is so delightfully "mood-setting" and enjoyable. ❤️

As a lyracict I always have a hard time giving feedback on instrumentals.

This feels sad, and longing, with a bit of hope poking through.

I pictured an old home movie reel of a family getting ready to set sail to America. I imagine the fun mugging in front of the camera. Kids frolicking, dad looking distinguished and mother looking somewhat contemplative...somewhat distant to what is happening. It's a bit of apprehension and anticipation. Beautiful piece, Nadia. Your gift shines brightly as always hoped for.

Very nice piece. You are great at setting a mood that goes with the pictures you choose to post with the music. I can picture a young woman on a boat coming into New York Harbor when I hear it. Nice work!
