Hi Rob,
Sounds pretty danged good to me. You are so good with these ballads and the big band standards. The mix is clean and very well balanced. The vocal oohs and aahs are a real nice touch on the chorus well as the response b/g vocals. Really nice!

Great vocal! Background vocal are a nice touch too, makes the song special. Definitely sounds like something Elvis might have done as others have mentioned.
Mix sounds good at this end through my studio headphones.

Rob, I don't know why "easy" listening has such a bad reputation...this is surely 'easy' to listen to, and a great pleasure. We need a portion of slow/soft compositions like this in our music diet--my opinion.
It's got the feel you were intending..your voice fits perfectly, and the background ooh's were right on. A great slow dancing song.
One suggestion...I would have liked to hear a little solo in the break around the 1:45 mark.
Thanks for posting!

Most excellent. Everything sounds great on our monitors.
You own this genre.
As Tano Music said "We need a portion of slow/soft compositions like this in our music diet--my opinion." Dittos to that.
Enjoyed it!

I really enjoyed this one, Rob  Very reminiscent of the 50's and 60's - I'm feeling some Elvis vibes here. I particularly enjoyed the background harmonies. They flow incredibly well and help the emotion hit harder. Really well done! Thanks so much for sharing
Cheers,
Deryk

A really nice song, well written and nicely done. I also was waiting for a guitar or pedal solo that wasn't there, but still very well done.

Rob,
Very classy vocal and love the background oohs.
The mix sounds good and clear ( maybe a little quiet, but its a low key song).
Enjoyed.
Robert

Rob, that studio one certainly seems to work for you.
You've come up with a very pro-sounding song with very cool backing vocals as well.
Nice, nice, nice
Rob
