Born a Stranger - To the Moon OST (2024 Extended Version) Kan Gao 2024-02-20 | Revisiting a very simple piece I wrote over a decade ago~This was one of the two tracks that were improvised in the 'To the Moon' soundtrack (the other being "Tomorrow"). Because it has a relatively simple melody, there wasn't a fixed sheet music, so I just played it freely -- as was this extended version as well.Aside from the mood expressed, I wanted it to remind of ocean waves. Thanks for listening!

Does this song exist? Kan Gao 2022-02-18 | There's often a lot of similarities between simple songs/melodies like this anyway, but I'm a bit worried if any parts are *too* similar to something -- particularly the beginning part that establishes the rest of it. Does anyone know any specific song with the exact melody? Cheers & many thanks!
