Hi guys,
Thanks for the kind comments and alot of people Christian and Non Christian have said nice things about it to me.Maybe us Irish do have a thing about writing hymn type music,
Greg the song was produced in studio as it was my very first song I wrote and I wanted to test out whether I should keep going at it as it was time consuming and I wanted to know if it was worth continuing or not.Also I was not able to produce a backing track to any level at the time so I had to get it done.
The vocalist is brilliant it has to be said even though I never met her or thanked her personally.Greg I sent you on a PM with all the details I have,
I am still looking for a choir to sing this song even though I wrote in in the First person.I still think a Choir could really do something nice with it.If anyone knows any choir who would sing it please let me know,,,Thanks again Hugh

Hi Hugh,

What a nice song this is. And especially that voice! I wish I had a relative with such a voice. You would love all the songs I make then. It reminded me of Tubular bells, if I'm correct.
The composition of the song is subtle and very nice. Not only for this time of year or Christmas.

Thank you for sharing,
Hans

Hi Hugh,

I missed this one when you first posted it.

It's beautiful. The folk-song quality is haunting... terrific melody and lyrics, excellent arranging and the final mix is really, really well produced. To my ears, the vocals have an ethereal quality and they appeal greatly to my. I could hear every single word.

Wonderful work!

All the best,
Noel
