Hi Deej56,

Nice guitar playing. Sad and pleasant atmosphere. The playing of the violin reinforces this atmosphere. The lyrics are well written and your voice harmonizes perfectly. Well done.

Kindly regard

This is Deej on his best!

These heartbreaking songs are really made for you, ehm by you, because you have the perfect voice for them.
One can almost hear you crying. And then you went even higher for a moment, beautiful.
Also the lyrics are written very clever. F.i. I like "When I finally feel we’re on solid ground, I find you running round with someone new".

So I enjoyed your song very much, as you might have guessed,
Hans

"Wow." That was my first thought when the song was over. You did everything right---lyrics, melody, accompaniment, vocal performance---that comes together for that intangible, poignant moment that pricks the heart.

I love this song. It is my absolute favorite from you. And that is no hyperbole.

Third listen... double wow.

Good song.

I have to agree a bit with Floyd's assessment on the mix...especially the low end. I've rarely been a fan of the acoustic bass samples due to the muddy nature of their sound. A crisper low end from an electric bass would probably be an asset. You may already know this, but if you use a low cutoff EQ slope on your bass.... yeah I know, sounds counterintuitive, but it will often clean up the muddy really low stuff in the instrument leaving you with a bass that fits nicely in the mix with out the muddiness.

Nicely written and performed. I loved those quite unexpected falsetto notes. Nice touch.

I've upgraded from my crappy computer speakers and still learning these new ones. So much better than my old ones.... but I need to learn them a bit and tweek the settings. So... I listened on my buds... I trust the buds actually, to give me the truth. The bass is actually more clearly defined in the buds. I like this song.

Deej,

I hadn't heard any of your songs in a while and was just reminded how great a vocalist you are! This ballad is delivered with emotion and feeling that honors the lyrics! Great song! Thanks, Torrey

Hi Deej ...

Back after several months of absence for some medical reasons. I've told you this before, but feel the need say again - your unique vocal style is a fabulous treat to my ears. Sad, sad song but a sweet delivery. This is terrific in so many ways. Loved it!
