Really thoughtful and beautiful song Joanne!! I thought the vocals were wonderful-love the back and forth-almost hypnotic. Cello worked great. Really well done all the way around! Take care. Greg Hi Greg Thanks for this and sorry for my late reply on this. As most of you know I have been traveling around the states for the last week or so.

first I like the guitar strumming that opens the song, which one is it?
and the cello as well
overall a solid write and good song
thanks for sharing Hi Lawrence The strumming guitar at the start is 378. I have started now panning the strumming guitar parts mostly to the center (imagining that I am sitting center stage strumming my guitar and the other instruments panned around me). I am glad you liked it. Very nice Joanne. A ton
of conviction in your vocal.
Janice and I have donated
to USA wolf causes for years
so this song is particularly
close to us.
Thank you for writing and
producing this!
J&B Hi Bud and Janice. Thanks and keep up the generous donations to a great cause.

Hi Joanne, Yet another enjoyable listen/watch. I have to hand it to you, you really have become a songwriting force in the forum. - In relation to diphthongs, whilst some of them come about as a consequence of accent, are number of them are naturally present in English. Vowels such as the 'ay' in day, 'oy' in boy (just to name a couple), are diphthongs and if both vowel sounds are not pronounced, the word will not be understood correctly. For example: in 'boy', the 'oy' consists of an 'or' sound (as in core) and a longish 'i' or maybe an 'ee' sound. So, if one of the vowel sounds is ignored, 'boy' would sound as either 'bore' or 'bee' - depending on which of the two individual vowels is omitted. The diphthong is necessary for people to hear the word 'boy'.
... just thought I'd pass that on in case it adds any extra insight. All the best, Noel

I just don't seem to be having as much time to write these days. Thanks also for the information in dipthongs. I never knew anything about them until I went for vocal coaching and they used to drive my coach nutty. She hated them with a passion. It is odd that they haven't really bothered me up until now.

Hi Joanne I am slowly getting around to hearing everyone's songs and today I came to you. I do not believe that I have met anyone with more passion for animals than you and you certainly show it in your writing. Animals have always been a big part of my life and I have been blessed with knowing countless dogs and cats and just a few years ago two birds.
I lived for ten years right in the middle of the woods and I got to see animals up close that I had never seen before and it was just amazing. I look forward to your next post.
Sonny

Hello Joanne,
As always, very well done!
A very good blend of RT's (especially the gritty electric guitar), good lyrics, cool vocals/backing vocals.
