A beautiful love song from the heart of the artist inimitable. Just for
her. I have always liked those songs and works that were written just for
the composer's beloved, such as the Siegfried Idyll
I wrote an arrangement for my voice range and sang it for my beloved at our
wedding vows renewal.

I got the midi for Unchained melody and sang that to her.
It was special for us because one time I had gone away for a weekend and
when I returned in the evening, she FLEW into my arms.  It turned out she
had been watching Ghost on TV:

Aversion that would be great at the wedding, if with a bit less banter:
