I think I figured out why you guys don't like the ending.  I listen mostly on headphones (Walkman) and if you're listening on speakers you probably don't hear all of the dissipation of the piano chord (1st ending) and I agree that that would sound a bit bizarre.  But that's how I wanted to end it which requires the piano to fade out naturally.  Any suggestions as to how to do this better?  Thanks.

That's a sweet tune John, very pleasant listen. That recurring (flute?) motif is nice, I was waiting for something to play a harmony to it though, instead of unison. Bass lines are nice, drums are good too.
 
I think the 'weird' thing with the ending is not so much the way it fades, it's that (to me, anyway) the last part after the silence at 4:07 sounds like it's from another tune.

Thanks.  Harmony on lead instrument between 1:53 & 2:17.  Doesn't it come through?

Very pleasant number indeed John.  I enjoyed listening.  I agree with the above comments about the ending but for me this is a minor crit.

Very smooth and fluid movement throughout. I liked the flute especially. I listened again with the speakers turned up and this time could hear the piano fade out. So I see what you're doing there now.

A very relaxing song - I liked the sound of the flute.  The piano sits well in the mix.  The mix overall sounds good to my ears.

Hi John,

Nice piece, for sure.

I am listening with my ear buds. I could hear the piano chord towards the end fading out fine and I think it works. At the end of the day, this is how you want your tune to finish. Only thing I would have done slightly differently would have been to use another natural fade with the closing section, rather than fading out, but, no, I still think what you have done is okay.

cheers

EZ Keys does a real nice job of emulating an actual performance. Sounds like Carole King in a box. Nice tune John!
