Hello, David
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am very encouraged by your nice words.
I am really glad you like my vocalist and orchestration.
Yes, the quibbles with the mix you point out are right.
The volume of the guitar certainly competes with the vocal in some places.
I usually cut the parts that compete with others, but this time the generated guitar phrase by BIAB was so beautiful, so I left it as it was.
Best regards.

Hello, Tom
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am very encouraged by your nice words.
I am really happy you like this tune, my arrangement and my vocalist.
I much appreciate your careful listen and your precious suggestion.
I tried somewhat complicated cliché to avoid ordinary cliché in the beginning.
As you said, it certainly would be better to simplify it.
I would like to take advantage of your suggestion in the future production.
Best regards.

Hello, Robert
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am always very encouraged by your nice words.
I am really happy you like this tune, my arrangement and Yoko's vocal.
And I much appreciate your interest in my lyrics.
Lyrics with the "goodbye" theme are my favorite.
I would like to deliver my songs to the forum with English lyrics if I could, but I am so sorry that it will be very hard with my poor English.
Best regards.

As always our favorite word for your productions comes to mind...CLASSY!
As Deryk said "this tune is vibrant, sophisticated, compelling to listen to, and the vocal performance is absolutely perfect"
We could not agree more! It is so lush and textured and sounds wonderful on both of our sound systems.
