Such a pretty song. Really like the way the acoustic guitar strings ring. Not sure how you obtained the effect but it works well and matches the song. I like the way your vocal blends in the mix. Hello Jim, Thanks for your mind comments and your listening. The acoustic guitar are played twice in DADGAD tuning, capo d'astro on the 5th fret. This nearly open tuning let the strings ring and give a compact sound. Hope to hear much more from you in 2015 Fred

Hi Fred, Very good song, the acoustic guitar is great, good vocals. We expected some backing vocals in the 2nd part of the song though, but that is because we love harmonies ![smile smile](/forums/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif) Een goed uiteinde gewenst! Rob en Anne-Marie Hi R en AM Thanks for your kind comments ! After those magnificent medieval harmonies of you, Anne Marie, I will try (at my level) to respond with some harmonies too. So I'll stuff the next song full with'em! Love every song you publish! Have plenty of fun in 2015 ! Fred

Fred this is your best to date!
Super vocals and that line per line echo was exceptional, loved it. Your lyrics were outstanding, as was the mix.
Great job on this!

Mario, Thank you so much for these lovely comments. You are part of a great audience that will surely make me work even harder on the next song. See and hear you in 2015!!! Fred

Hi Fred,
I listened to this a little while ago and thought I'd left a comment! This morning when I checked, though, it seems I didn't ...
This is a beautiful song and it's put together incredibly well. I enjoyed the listen greatly!
All the best for 2015, Noel

Wow! I had a brief look at the lyrics before listening (because SoundCloud was acting up yesterday), and I thought "Meh... Normal cliches".
I was so wrong - the song blew me away. You've got a great pop voice, and the instrumentation and clever use of the echo got and retained my attention.
My only nit would be the strings - once they came in the song lost some of the drive. I think if you'd moved them to the back after the were introduced, and left the guitars in the front it would be more effective. But that's just my personal opinion.
Thanks for posting this!
-- David

Sorry to be late to the Christmas party, but I just listened to this for the first time. I'm very impressed! I don't want to sound like Scrooge, but "new" Christmas songs rarely work for me. The classics are just burned in my brain I guess. Why say all that again? (Good thing I don't feel that way about love songs!) But this is a very different sounding Christmas song that I truly enjoyed listening to.
As many have said, everything works here, very professional and smooth, and a very nice listen indeed.
Thanks, Bruce

Well done Fred and Walter! Really enjoyed this, very uplifting song. I wouldn't mind playing this at our church Also, gorgeous guitar sound for the solo bit around 1:42 - what did you use? Great vocals too. I shall definitely give this another listen or two ![wink wink](/forums/images/graemlins/default/wink.gif)

Hi David, Thanks for listening and commenting. I still feel humbled in the presence of these wonderful composers and musicians on this forum. I have struggled with the idea whether or not to let the string quartet take over the end of the song. As they say... A song is never finished, but at a certain point you have to let it go ![smile smile](/forums/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif) I believe I can improve on being more subtle (though the next song won't be subtle at all ![smile smile](/forums/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif) ) See/hear you soon! Fredf

If you like to play it, just do it ![smile smile](/forums/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif) The guitar solo was the original 1167:Gtr,El,Sol, RockBalladGel65. I do often mix my solos as they were lead vocals, so I used the vocal presets of EZ mix. Hope this answers your question. G F Edit : Will pass the compliments to Walter ![smile smile](/forums/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif)

Thanks, Bruce Hi Bruce, Thanks for listening and commenting. You don't have to be scrooge-ish to like the classics. I love 'em to. ![smile smile](/forums/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif)
