I liked this to me it was like an old seekers number, and that's coming from somebody who is a big fan of the seekers.  Ah, yes! I happily wasted a chunk of time listening to old Seeker songs on YouTube a couple months back. Perhaps some of it rubbed off. But I'm nowhere as cute as Judith.  Thanks for listening!

The only thing wrong with your song is that I started the music before reading your intro...which is a great explanation but now I`m going back to have a proper, undistracted listen to the song! Hi, Robert. Johnny Tedesco had a guitar book filled with lots of useful information, interleaved with amusing anecdotes, ostensibly so that people who had no intention of playing guitar would get some enjoyment from the book. In a similar vein, if people don't like my song, hopefully they'll find the narrative amusing. Thanks for stopping by and commenting! I appreciate it.

David, Definitely your best till date. Clearly a lot of work went into this and... it paid off! The vocals are top notch. So is the arrangement. We had a mild Mike Batt moment with this, which is good we think

We had a mild Mike Batt moment with this, which is good we think I just checked him out on YouTube - I'd heard the Art Garfunkle rendition of Bright Eyes from Watership Down, but didn't know Mike had written it. Cool! Yes, it's a good thing. Thanks for stopping by to comment!

Very nice harmonious pop song with good melody, soft arrangement and great vocals. I like how you bring that excellent sounding cello to front at right moments.

Interesting to read the Goldsboro references. I grew up only a few miles from his birthplace. He was playing with and individually on a bill with Roy Orbison at the first concert I attended -- in high school...I digress We always enjoy your backstories. And we are down with floyd that you need to stop hammering yourself regarding the vocals. They sound fine and the harmonies are exquisite. I know nothing about pitch software but whatever you are doing works. So there! Just a big ole ditto on ALL the accolades that have preceded us. This is an engaging, well arranged, well written and well mixed production. Nice and lush on the monitors. Kudos! J&B

I didn't really want to complain about my vocals, but encourage other people who might not be that confident about their vocals to use it as a tool. Pitch correction certainly helped me feel better about posting my own vocals, and that's really what I was trying to get across. So I'll stop complaining! Thanks!

Like I have a right to suggest that as I'm a guy who complains about my productions until the cows come home! It's in us all...the alternative is the dreaded complacency! BTW, I didn't mean to appear dismissive of pitch correction programs...I'm just ignorant of them. Cheers, Bud

Hello, David
Very Pop!
It is an excellent song.
Your vocal is also really comfortable.
I think you have proven that it will be a wonderful arrangement without using additional instruments in particular with only the current ability of BIAB.
If the song needs a classical orchestration, sometimes it is better to add instruments.
I think that it depends on songs.
However, in the case of this song, it is rather harmful.
I think that it is a wonderful completion as it is.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Nice to have those talented young ears around and interested in helping. So cool you can share your hobby with your kids. I thought the vocal should've been a little bit louder. Otherwise really nice arrangement and mix. I like your voice it reminds me of Gilbert O'Sullivan.

Nice to have those talented young ears around and interested in helping. I'm not complaining! The kids - now mostly young adults - also sing and play with me in the (literal) Sunday choir, which is nothing less than awesome. I thought the vocal should've been a little bit louder. I'll keep that in mind for the next mix. Getting the vocal to sit right in the mix is probably the trickiest bit. I intentionally dialed it back here. My original mix had the vocal more upfront, but was a lot harsher. Hopefully I'll get closer next time. Thanks for listening and the feedback!

Good pop song! Especially like the chorus, very strong, and love the harmonies. Nice job on the mix too!
Enjoyed the listen! Also enjoyed reading your production notes, always interesting to see how projects come together.

I started out this song with a number of intentions, like using more alliteration, and being happy and upbeat. Somehow that didn't happen. But next time, for sure! I appreciate the positive feedback!
