Josie,
What a beautiful and sweet rendition of Donna's powerful lyrics. Very well done throughout, little one.
I'll echo what's already been said: It's so great to hear your beautiful voice on these forums again. You've been sorely missed.

Hi Josie,
Like you I liked Joanna's version, but you have a created an equally great song with a completely different vibe.
I really liked it - it is a very beautiful and lovely song.
Thank you for sharing!
Will

I assured Donna that she'd find a lot of talent on these forums. You wonderful people are proving it so.

Josie,
The melody has echoes of some of the best folk ballads... but really its all yours and had me singing along.
A good tender vocal and excellent arrangement ... not forgetting the wonderful lyrics.
A very good collaboration!

Josie,
This is beautiful... really, really beautiful. You've taken Donna's excellent words and crafted them into something very special.
I love that oscillation between two chords for the top half of the verse. It adds a wonderful dreamlike and drifting lilt to the song (very much like the way a butterfly zig-zags here and there). I call this inspired arranging.
You found some awesome images for the video!
Congratulations to you and Donna on a terrific collaboration.
All the best to you and Donna,
Noel Noel, I appreciate that so much. I always admire the care you put into your arrangements. Thank you!

Very nice, Josie! Some really nice touches here. Your vocals sound as sweet as ever. Like the subtle ohs and ahs. Just far enough back in the mix to give it a nice mystical feel. The same with what sounded like a harp to me. Very good job. Your arrangements and mixes just keep getting better.  Steve Thank you Steve! I hope we both hear each other around here a lot more this year.

Josie, your arrangement on this along with your production is top shelf. I especially like the dissonance that is evident at the end of the verse lines. You also used that dissonance in the background ahhs. All of this along with your beautifully delivered vocal pair perfectly with Donna’s wonderful lyrics. Great collab, Tom

Nice work on this You really nailed the vibe to match the lyrics here, and did an outstanding job with the melodies. It really is a gorgeous track. Really pretty on the ears, and I like the stripped back approach to the backing tracks. You really lent some merit to those lyrics - thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Deryk

Sundance,
Pretty tune—love that melody in the chorus, particularly on that first line. The sound and lyrics fit really well. Very nicely done!
All the best,
Deej Thank you very much Deej!

As Jim noted above, I was also waiting to hear this.
Josie, Donna excellent! Nice, strong vocals. Excellent arrangement including use of harp and backing vocals. Clear and airy mix.
Thank you for sharing.

Josie,
Beautiful song and super vocal! Nice video.
It make me feel quite adult atmosphere when compared with Joanne's version.
Although it is sung about butterflies, it seems to be sung about an adult woman.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Yes, Shigeki, the lyrics can about from a conversation with my son who's a young adult about a girl he loved but wasn't sure she really loved him back.
