Songwriting and Composing Melodies

So sweet! I definitely can relate the song to the title, it feels like a gentle, moving river. I really liked your use of range, dynamics, and rubato. Sometimes production music can feel very computerized, and this has a lovely human feel to the playing. I would be curious to hear what it would sound like if you had the cello play the melody (E-F#-G-F#-E) at 0:47. I might suggest as well that the cello stay out at 0:56 a bit longer to either 0:59 or 1:01. Those beautiful, delicate upper register notes of the piano will have a little more impact without the cello there for a couple seconds longer. Awesome job on this! Hope you had fun working on it.

Hello Lauren, Thank you for listening. I had to look up what "rubato" meant :P (hee!) 
I did intend to move the strings as they are: 
1) messing up my timing and 
2) they hide the piano in a part that I'd like to feature more.
So, I will do my best to "redo" the second part.
But overall I am happy with how it turned out, and I did have fun working on it! Thank you for the inspiration!
