Hi Paddy!
Welcome to the forum! When Rob and Anne-Marie mentioned that you also used BIAB, I hoped that you would join our little group of friends and BIAB enthusiasts! And now you have!

I agree with what others have said about the engaging and sentimental quality of your lyrics in this song. I think it is risky trying to write words that stir the soul because in so many cases it comes across as a disingenuous attempt to manipulate the listener's emotions... but to my ears, your lyrics came across with sincerity and straight-forward expression of the singer's thoughts and reasoning. They communicate your message very well.

I also really liked your introduction! I found it to be unpretentious and full of evidence that it was spoken by a real person who brings real intellect and talent to the forum! I look forward to hearing more from you!

And with regards to your preference for MIDI: It's one of BIAB's strengths! PGMusic blazed new trails with their MIDI styles, and in my opinion, there's still no other music software company that implements MIDI the way they have! Its almost a shame that people have abandoned their MIDI tracks in order to use RT exclusively... especially with good synths, the MIDI is just PRICELESS! And I think you have used it well in this composition!

Your song is quite beautiful and very moving!

Anyway... welcome to the forum! Thanks to Rob & Anne-Marie for helping to get you here!
