Scaramouche,

I've transferred the song to my PMP. Great work! I liked your vocals.

There's only one part I'd change right now: the emphasis on the ly in endlessly. The word matches the long note conceptually, of course, but the long note just seems to fall on the wrong syllable. Funny thing is, that its these things that bother me on the first listen, that end up being the most enjoyable parts on multiple listens...

Thanks for sharing.
