Kind of a sweetish melody, but reminds me too much of something already written. Rachmaninoff's Vocalise comes to mind, but it's not that. Regardless, I like it.

Those of you with rudimentary music theory knowledge might pick up on the decidedly "minor" sound of the phrase, though I was making an (small and failed) effort to really avoid a tonal center. The last couple measures, though, seem completely out of place but could work if the phrase were expanded some. What's done is done, though.

Feels good to be writing music again. Sort of like when you hold your breath for awhile and then suddenly gulp down a lot of air. Head rush.
