Sounds great Nadia - the keyboard sound you chose is very "dreamy" and fits the poem you selected to evoke. Some super-nice melodic work.

@odetocollaboration 2w

Very smooth! Dreamy definitely accomplished perfectly!

@chill4matt 3w

I love the slightly haunting, but relaxing electric piano. This is meditative and right up my alley. Your interpretation of Poe absolutely shines!

@atam94 3w

Incredible composition, Nadia. I think your inspiration for this one is clear, and you did such an excellent job bringing it to life. Very nice :)

@timfatchenMod 3w

Good choice of EP for this dreamy and sweetly enticing instrumental. I appreciate the sparse harmony and simple melody line. Sometimes I think our instrumentals are a dream within a dream, and perhaps recursive at that. One of the more intriguing things I've heard from you.

@tamsnumber4 3w

Love this inspiration, Poe is one of my favs and so is this poem. I think this captures the atmosphere and prosody of the write....Just lovely!

@nightwing521 3w

The melancholy instrumentation and melody absolutely HITS on Poe's entire oeuvre, but especially here. Great work!

@jamkar 3w

It is late here too, and this is just the end of day listen that I need. I must re-read Poe's poem now, and of course re-listen here. Thank you this interesting dreamscape Nadia.

@robheron1 3w

Sounds good. One take? Really suits the Poe poem. Sort of nostalgic and spooky. Thanks!

@dudachris 3w

Dreamy for sure! I was expecting a Langston Hughes reflection based on the title but this is a truly wonderful surprise. The melancholy saturating this song makes sense when listened to next to the poem. Great work and thanks for the share 💛

@gardeningangel 3w

I read the poem while listening, what a lovely immersive experience! The music is perfect- wistful and haunting, like the sweet echoes of sunny childhood viewed through the rain-spattered window of age.

@smudge 3w

Hi Nadia, Love the sounds! So cool. Dreamy. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing! Cheers, Smudge

I wondered if I'd see any Poe. Nice job with the prompt. I got to remember that I can just write an instrumental, (instead of what I did with the prompt, which isn't that great). Also one of my works of Poe.
