Song Title: Preservation of a Soldier's Life soundtrack with added sounds - 20250813-203530.Heic
This story is set in the World War 1, it is about a soldier who comes home to his family safely, but eventually passes onto heaven. He wrote a book when he was living about God protecting him. who knows will I live one more day or pass away in this war. His life was preserved right until the end. The song portrays a flower as a memory of him, John.This piece of music is dreamy, with sound effects, creating ambience especially half-way through the piece, with a circus feel to it to describe good memories with a music box playing.
