""The Long Run" -Original.

[Redler]

The long intro works fine here and stopping drums was a nice idea on the arrangement.

This has nice influences of jazz and prog rock. You've put everything nicely together. This is a winner (again), John!

Another fantastic number John. Very original and intricately created. Some great musical lines weaving in and out of one another. It's true that bass line was good!

It's just a shame the value of music is so low in the current world. There are quite a few on the site that in a fair world would be making good money from their songs and you would be one of them. Hey maybe you are how do I know! But fab song.

Should also do as a instrumental this is a great composition, well crafted piece, that is some really nice bass playing and piano on this, very classical and engaging piece of music, the synth was cool too very orchestral .

Hi John,
The melody is very catchy, and has the sophisticated runs, which makes it a story on its own.
You are right, the intro is quite lengthy, but I am enjoying it.
Your vocals is worth the wait, lovely lyrics and very nice dramatic singing.
You are a musical painter, and your creations are very colorful and truly enjoyable.
Thank you, John, and more power to you!
Rene
