Wow, thanks for the explanation!
Indeed, I use a sort of 3/4 idea wrapped inside a 4/4 song. I used a 3/4 waltz for inspiration but wanted to give my own twist on the song, so I ended up with this.
I tried to keep the song really minimalistic indeed, as that is often with village-y and snowy area's. You gotta feel the calmth that is a frozen area!
Now, sorry for my lack of musical understanding, but as a self-taught I don't really know the concept of counterpoint. My guitar is used as a bass only, or am I wrong on that? I would love to hear what you mean :)
Oh, and I am glad you like the part at 0:25! I wasn't sure how it would sound to newcomers (you never do!) and I was worried it might be too 'much'.
Thanks again for taking the time to type this <3
