Very interesting ways things motivate new writing and inspiration.  Yet, sometime we don't realize that the things right out our back door may be just the thing. 

The only thing I felt seemed to distract was the cymbal crashes seem a bit harsh for the mix.  I'd suggest softening them just a bit and see if you can find a sample that might let them sustain just a bit longer.  That is just a suggestion as to what I feel from the material.

Great stuff!

Thanks for sharing,

I put up a remix with what should be a reduced hiss version. 
I would like to know if it is much better now???? Thanks for your inputs ....

Thanks Rik. I used a volume envelope on the nature sounds so that it should only be coming in at the beginning and at the end only? I'll have to revisit this when I get a chance.

I think if I get a chance, I'll try to post this without the nature sounds and see if it's coming from there or not. Thanks for the ears.
