Easy on my soul- Free

One of the best ever never released tunes of all time, sounding like bruce Hornbys song'thats just the way it is' except much better with amazing piano and incredible singing.

Actually, his album 'Poetic Champions Compose' features several wonderful tracks with piano.
I highly recommend it, but if you feel like taking a listen - here it is to sample;
