@stubass: Yeah for now, that version needs more reverb. I will address that in a week or 2

So this is the original piano part from Toto, right? Listening again, it’s really beautiful. I played my piano by ear, so some parts are a little different from the original. I hope it’s okay if I don’t redo it
