Mermaid
for Solo Guitar
Music & Guitar by J. Hermit
"You give all you have, living everyday as walking on the blade. But, you might not get the reward."
The little Mermaid came with the "Bubbles". She had the "First Glance" with the Prince and fell in love with him. However, the "Destiny" arrived and she could only sing the "Aria of Dissolving" for the "last time", and disappeared with the "Bubbles".
Inspired by H. C. Anderson's fairy tale "The Little Mermaid".

Can we achieve Eternity in music?
Music dissolves the boundary of time and space. We see the vast Universe through a glimpse of the everlasting cycle.
