Thank you so much for your kind feedback, om

For someone who has a tendency to overproduce and over-arrange songs, this means a lot to me

A very lovely lead vocal on a good tribute song with universal appeal.The uncomplicated folk-pop arrangement works.
Well done!

Hello B.D.Thomas,

This is a very nice tribute song and video!
The melody and lyrics are wonderful, and I can feel your endless love for your favorite artists.
I also have many favorite artists.
Just like your idols, most of them have already passed away.
Your song made me want to write a tribute song to them someday.
Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.

Best regards.

Thanks a lot for your nice feedback, Alan.

"Emotional trip with all the right stops" is a beautiful phrase...I think I have to steal that for one of my next songs grin

Thanks so much for taking the time to listen and comment, James.

I really like the Coors (SO much talent in one family), it could very well have influenced some of my choices here.

Take care, Torrey

That's what I try to do and everyone should.

Thank you for your very nice feedback, Torrey.

Well done.
Vic

Thank you, Vic, for listening and for your feedback.

As far as including more idols, I had to compromise because the song has a certain length and you can only pack so much into it. Each image stays around 11 seconds, and that's just the right amount of time to recognize the person and read the commentary and let it sink in a bit.

And most importantly, I only chose musicians who had an impact on my songwriting, and even with those, I had to pick the most important ones.
Far too many have died already cry

Janne

Yeah, knowing I'll never hear a song from them breaks my heart.

Fun fact: I was originally going to use a violin and viola (see String issue), but neither work well in 3/4 time, so I had to switch to cello.

Thank you so much for your kind feedback, Janne. I appreciate it very much!

Thank you for your kind feedback, TuneMonger.

The idea for the slideshow indeed came from Billie Eilish's rendition of "Yesterday" at the 2020 Oscars.

But I was also a bit surprised how well her voice works in a ballad with sparse instrumentation.... even a cappella without instruments it still sounds great.
