Hi Noel. I remember the first post of this. It is one of the first User Forum songs I posted comments to.

I thought then, and still do now, this song has a lot of potential. I suggested you might want to tweak your arrangement a bit and buffered with the weight of of several of the higher regarded posters suggesting the same, you have taken notice and bring a remix.

I think you have successfully improved over the first version. I agree with Patrick that the newer mix has a country feel to it.

This is a good song. A better than before song.... but I will say in my opinion, this song's identity is not an 'almost' country song. The lyrics and word phrasing/cadence and story seem to need a more sophisticated bed.

I'm likely a loner here with my thoughts so take my assessment with a grain of salt and discerning ear. I find it strange myself that for some odd reason the impression that the music is not quite fitting has been with me since first hearing the song 2 years ago when you first posted and I crept from the bushes to offer one of my earliest comments.
