First of all, this is for you Katey Khaos! :)

So when I started off with this song, I wanted it to really relate to Sona as a person, rather than a champion. So the theme had to be warm and on a lower key. Like, sitting next to a fireplace on a snowy day. Also, the song had to make the listener feel something. But as the song progressed, for some reason it got heavier near the end, because it pretty much sounded right. :D Of course I can do much better if I had better and more instruments than i currently do! :P

I do hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it! Downloads are free of course. Do leave your thoughts and comments. I appreciate all of them! Happy Listening! :)

The really classy artwork (@RiotKateyKhaos: Just like you wanted it! xD) is by long5009 and you can find the full art piece here.

This is really nice to listen to, but I'm not quite sure what else to say about it. I liked how the song had a sort of building up and then a climax and then a sort of fading out. Also, I didn't really get a "sitting next to fireplace on a snowy day" feel from the song, I got a more intense vibe from it than anything else, and the beginning was a little abrupt. Still really good, though. Keep it up! :D

It reminds a bit of Mannheim Steamroller, in a sense. Like modernized classical music. The song feels like a journey across Valoran... Starting in the fields of Demacia, crossing the Serpentine river just north of the Howling Marsh and heading to the Frejlord. Then proceeding along the Ironspike Mtns., passing near Piltover and Zaun. Heading through Noxus and into Icathia. - briefly brushing the Voodoo Lands. Coming through the Morgon Pass and back into Demacia.

Thank you for sharing your music, Sid88. A very beautiful travel it is. summoner 12

I'm not sure if I like the Nami track or the Sona track better - they're both wonderful pieces. They both really encapsulate the champion. One thing I do really like about Sona's piece is that is feels like there's a bit of classic old school Sona with DJ Sona undertones. It tells a bit more of a story about the kind of composer both she - and you - are. :]
