This poetic piano love ballad screams out with emotion. A strong violin and piano duet, with drums and light but driving guitar. Much like a fable or fairy tale, the lyrics are extremely cinematic and movie-like, telling the story of a man chasing a girl through the course of time, never giving up on her, dealing with her baggage and tackling any and every obstacle in his way. Convinced that he and the girl are meant to be. Set in a medieval era, there are metaphors and references to castles, ships, cannons, wars, the ocean, jumping plank, and rummaging around in dungeons. The classic tale of Prince Charming trying to rescue the Princess (Katie), but in this fairy tale, the Princess keeps turning a cold shoulder to The Prince's romantic attempts. The track retains a cool, calm, insightful, epic, beautiful and powerful feel and works its way into a full band rock ballad. It will work exceptionally GREAT with any scene about a girl named Katie. But replace the name "Katie" with any girl and this is the perfect soundtrack to any relationship or love scene. Especially one about the chase, the pursuit of love. Melodic piano and soaring violins somewhere between pop and indie rock. Available as a vocal version and an instrumental version. [Tempo: Slow / 146 BPM]
