I wanted to hear this again, I see colourful visions...the title says much of the mood/feel of this most lovely tune. It's most relaxing, a meditative feel..really love your piano playing here, much fine expression, well focused on the flow of it all. A very IMPRESSIVE tune. I love the flute at the end...most peaceful ending. An enchantng song that I could listen to many times, and now I already have let it flow on through. Really sounds refreshing. I must say, the piano again is so rich & dynamic David. Really a most WONDERFUL EXPRESSIVE composition.
-Your friend. -Vesa.
(I thank you again for the fine CD -great artistry)

Since I am a flute lover and player, I related to this track more emotionally. This serene work is the fruit of the serious collaboration. Soulfully enchantement, sweet melody.
Blessing to you and family.
With million of love from Singapore.

Oh man, this is so dreamy David. Wonderful composition, great keyboard work. Almost has a Brian Eno feel to it. Just love it, what more can I say

'The tune 'What you Want Me to Be' was the song that the review I just did was meant for -take a listen there; it's great; my review here was accidently added to this song, which is most wonderful too.

01/28/09 10:49:04AM @vesa:
Very lovely guitar playing with a most enjoyable female vocalist, so nicely arranged. Good lyrics; relates to a universal feeling. so much from the heart. What a wonderful genuine pure emotive singing. I like the synth -adds nicely to the backup complimenting the guitar and her vocal. This could be very great for a soundtrack for a film.I can envision the scenes so well... so you have altered with great artistry. Now this is SUPERB David. Love it...can easily put a tear in one's eye. A true fave-into my favourites this has to go.
Thanks for the pleasure. One of the best sung tunes I've heard here.
HIGHLY EXCELLENT. Fantastic composition David.
-Your friend. -Vesa.

Graceful...this is briliant piece of music I think....you have major feel in your writing that comes from perfecting your craft...it shows...Love it ...Thx, Bud
12/21/08 09:17:36AM @soundtrapper:
David, "Graceful" I think is perfect title. Very beautiful music. It sure reminded me of the peaceful, surreal vibe of "Lord Of The Rings". No doubt the flute influenced some of that but the writting was there too. Ace.

Your music is so Beautiful. I don't even think that describing it that way is the best word.. Wonderful.. My kind of music.. I'll be back for sure.. Best Wishes, lonesome princess
10/23/08 05:48:02PM @anthony-marcus:
"Graceful" is a track that just leaves me awe stricken! There is so much beauty in this track. I have been given the gift of music on several plateaus, one being that I can close my eyes and envision the music as a picture or film. This one is so versitile. For this track is truly "Graceful". Daivd, you are indeed a genius. EXCELLENT work.
10/06/08 01:19:43PM @test200:
Enjoying your chops on the keys, outstanding progressions and emotion. the flute is just melting over top. the connection between artist and listener is complete, we are one and I'm much better for it. such a great feeling..ambient ending leaves wanting more.

A very peaceful and well composed track....And the musicianship is excellent across the board...a good listen...for sure!....Ken
What a beautiful pioece of music! Serene would be the only appropriate word I can think of. The flute is other-worldly. Short, but sweet and the ending added the right touch. Playing and composition are fantastic man!!
08/08/08 07:58:36AM @huge-artist:
Piano and flute,one of my fav combinations.
There is something about combining flute and piano that just radiates freshness and hope,like a new dawn.
Beautifuly played and aranged.
One of my fav flute players is Terry Oldfield,and IMHO this is a worthy match for his playing.
Delicate,and yet powerful piece,witha lovelys ense of rise and fall,and like all the very best music,it ends all too soon.
The ending fel a tad more darker,kind of ending in suspense.
Yep,excellent collab guys.
Greatly enjoyed.
Nigel.
06/12/08 02:46:59PM @loren:
i got tired of having my head bashed by all the rock, so, i remember this from about 2 years ago. very pretty builds and the flute simply floats and enlightens. beautiful song.
06/12/08 02:03:52PM @ab2:
Such a treat to be able to listen to a piece of classical music of this calibre...That flute is truely angelic...This little tune, so short, is a sparkling diamond..
Peace n love mags xx
06/04/08 09:23:10AM @bri-an:
Very classy (classical) composition... outstanding muso-ship with the flutists both tradition and native....and of course highlighted greatly with the played (keyboard) background music.
04/22/08 07:49:50AM @tcp:
If this is what pop is I'd have to turn my radio back on. Uplifting and graceful. Gorgeous progressions with compelling melody I can strongly identify with. The instrumentation and playing couldn't be better. Thanks Dave...a gem. ~Blake
02/18/08 10:40:05AM @henry-tarnecky:
This very classical themed piece creates beauty at large...flute and piano are so strong and with the full underlying strings it exudes emotion... a very well crafted piece of art... interesting little native flute twist at the end suggests the listener could easily turn the page an enter another musical direction! Very nice Dave!
02/18/08 02:07:50AM @ab1:
lovely panoramic piano intro dave.. love the progression.. with the flute lead it takes on the feel of a big stage production/musical once again.. this must be YOUR genre doc..
your music is very reassuring and peaceful.. then.. an indian village in the dawn mist.. the world (my psyche) at peace..
thank you.. short but most effective.. a rare moment.. peace..
02/17/08 06:10:29PM @rob-hanlon:
Beautifully composed and performed. A very powerfully emotional piece of great music and an impressive work of art.
02/17/08 05:38:13PM @mark-cloutier:
your keyboard playing is terrific and the flute---ohhh so beautiful!!! what a great combo here--lovely to my rough ears!!! mark

I live in Ohio where I am a practicing Psychologist http://davidcdealphd.com/ . My favorite instruments are an array of keyboards, however I also enjoy playing acoustic guitar. I currently perform in a Trans-Siberian Orchestra tribute band named Siberian Solstice. www.siberiansolstice.com ,
I have released two CD’s, “Harmonic Space” and “Transformations.” “Harmonic Space” is a clinically based CD that aids people in coping with anxiety and sleep disorders. “Transformations” is a concept album that is both a spiritual autobiography and, hopefully, a spiritual vessel. The songs from Transformations have deep, emotional, and spiritual intent. I continue to write, record, produce, and collab and have also posted many of these songs.
My musical styles are said to range from those of progressive rock bands such as YES and Pink Floyd to Broadway musicals such as those of Andrew Lloyd Weber. I often add a little bit of Jazz and Classical flavoring. I have recently been mixing my acoustic guitar roots with more progressive elements.
A Word from David:
I have been blessed with many artistic and musical friends who have offered their talents to my recordings. Some of the musicians who played on the posted songs include Les Brooke, Tom Hannah, Tim Vargo, Andrew Vargo, Cynthia Lugo, Andrea Bok, David Coonrod, Ned Clark, Kevin Peters, Kristin Sorensen, William O’Connell, Ked Deiter, Mack Sanders, Rob Hanlon, Richard Gonzales, Bob Ross, Pat Ross, Michael Duryee, Nigel Potter, Joseph Rodriguez, P.E.Bailey, Carol Sue Kirkpatrick, Bill Smith, Buddrumming, Rasmuth, Jolee, Terry Wigmore and John Else, I want to extend special thanks to Arthur Kills Straight Putnam who wrote and recorded all of the native flute parts which follow each song in “Transformations”.
Finally, I want to say a special thanks to David Coonrod. He plays incredible bass on many of the posted songs and has been an awesome collaborator and friend. At this point I would hardly be willing to release any musical arrangement without passing it by his ears for suggestions etc. A talented, selfless friend and a musical compadre.
Transformation Cover Message:
"Sometimes, in the midst of a perfectly ordinary day, one is unexpectedly flooded by the magnificence of “what is.” Perhaps that moment of awareness and clarity arrives while watching a storm or absorbing a piece of art or kneeling with intention in a church. If blessed, echoes of the past and visions of the future fade from existence as the unknowing silence of the infinite present emerges. With patience and grace, one comes to know the incredible richness of “what is” as a revelation of God’s face, and the mind is forever transformed into a mirror of creation." . . . .
Serenity at its best with uplifting moments of inspiration that fills the heart. Emotion changer and lifter. Very nice David. Great sounds.
Peace and Blessings, John
