A composition - Those were the days

'Those were the days' is, in my opinion my best composition. It was also the most difficult to write, as I struggled to tie together seemingly different passages. I put my heart and soul into it, and will always cherish the days I spent working on composing this. As always, there are goof-ups - things I wish I had done differently while arranging it... Nevertheless, I am quite happy with the way it turned out overall. I eventually did compose its sequel too, titled 'Days of wonder', which I am yet to record.

Play 'Those were the days'

This has a very pensive feel to it, with a few melancholic undertones, which I actually really like!

Neeraja - Thanks ! Yes, it does have melancholic undertones! This piece is about looking back at the past wistfully. In the sequel, I've tried to portray looking back at the past with a sense of fondness.
