I love the smooth guitars and strings at the beginning. The cute melodies, relaxed atmosphere, and sound design really make this piece what it is. Aspects of the composition could’ve been a bit more dynamic and ambitious, as the solos all seem like echoes of each other after a while. The harmonies also trip over each other sometimes, especially at 1:14. Still, you get full credit for mixing, instrumentation, and atmosphere here. This piece makes me regret not getting to the beach this summer! Keep at it, FJOB. ^_^
