We are always fascinated by the time and creativity you put in your productions. Simply epic. We can see a huge stadium crowd transfixed. We cranked it up as loud as Bud's ears will allow. And the soundstage on our monitors was remarkable. Crystal clear with really impressive dynamics - not an easy combo to achieve. Well done!

OP B.D.Thomas Veteran Joined: Jul 2022 Posts: 3,048 3rd rock from the sun	Originally Posted by John Walradt Hey, BD. This is masterfully written. The melody stands out as great and expresses the emotion of the story. For me, the test of a song is the core music and words. Can you play it with one instrument and sing it, hum it, is it memorable? Your instrumentation and production give it an epic feel as well. A lot of songs make me think, well that's nice...okay...but this is a song that makes me stop and notice. It's beautiful and poignant. It's the kind of song I'd come back to. John "but this is a song that makes me stop and notice" made my day, John. Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback I think I’ve heard the phrase "Can you play it with just one instrument and sing along?" before, and curious cat I am, I gave it a try with just one guitar and the vocals, and it actually works.

Whatever the process, it sounds great. The arrangement works well, going from heavy, bombastic power chords to light arpeggios on an acoustic. Cool contrast. 👍 -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

My mind is still reeling (in a really good way) from the impact. Throughout, I kept thinking that this must be what "Pop-Opera meets Rock-Ballad meets a very inventive and musically fearless arranger and producer" sounds like. I was spellbound. It was a thoroughly thrilling musical roller-coaster ride. Absolutely brilliant and amazing. Standing ovation! --Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2026 audios on Soundcloud

I can easily imagine many top professional vocalists wanting to cover it." I empathise with your reply … but I'll message you with more.

Nifty backing and a good result with the mix. Good ears man. Cheers rayc "What's so funny about peace, love & understanding?" - N.Lowe

OP B.D.Thomas Veteran Joined: Jul 2022 Posts: 3,048 3rd rock from the sun	Originally Posted by vicarn This is one of the best songs I've heard and read in a while. I can sense the work you put into it. "A brother from another mother" and "a sister from another mister". Priceless! Worth all the effort. Vic Wow, that's really nice of you, Vic. And I'm doubly glad that you like the second phrase above, because I wasn't sure if it was correct.
