	Regarded by many to be my best piano work in a studio song, this intricate piano ballad is accented by string orchestra, light percussion, and bass guitar, and carries a melody you'll find yourself singing time and time again.
	Story Behind the Song I began this piece immediately after completing part one of "Into the Dream," as an escape from the piece. While I very much wanted to complete part two, I couldn't bring myself to give the music justice. The simple melodies in what was to become Twilight kept playing through my head, so I sat down and recorded this song. I used a progression in the second bridge from For a Moment (unreleased work), so I consider this a combination of old and not so old ideas. Twilight is the overall theme, with the simple piano riff in the upper registers. It is, however, not an entirely new song either. While I rarely played pieces of it on the piano, it's a theme I wrote some eight years ago. Combining the two works had been on my mind a few times. I chose some strange instruments for this music in places, bringing in light, airy synths to complement a deep tone with soft richness. I kept the music simple for the most part, with an almost march-style slow percussion thump and violins/violas carrying the harmonies. All of the piano is live, of course. The second instance of this song is what you're hearing here today. The original work was released immediately after the composition ended, with very little attention paid to the overall sound. I've replaced the piano work with a more realistic digital interpretation from my new board and given the entire piece a new mix. Enjoy!
