This title has been written a number of times, but I took a stab at it anyway. The basic track is the realtrack "Gentle Even Acoustic Pop w Cello". I added a piano (#2503, held chords) and a string quartet (#2335, rhythm pophall). Vocals added & mixed in Logic Pro X. I used a couple of handfuls of plugins, mostly Waves stuff and Antares Autotune Pro. ***DISCLAIMER*** sibilance haters might want to pass on this one  I de-essed the crap out of it, but it still has some spots. Oh well. Close enough for an old guy. The Art Of Letting Go Lyric below. The Art Of Letting Go No I didn’t call you to tell you I’m sorry I’ve already said all that And I wouldn’t dream of giving you reasons Why I should have one more chance I’ve finally turned a corner and I just thought you should know I think that I’ve learned the art of letting go – It took me a while and it wasn’t easy But I’ve come a long, long way And though it’s true I still think of you often I don’t miss you every day The nights have been more of a problem, I’ve struggled with sleeping alone But I think I’ve learned the art of letting go - BRIDGE: But if somehow your mind ever changes at all Hang on to my number And I promise I’ll answer if you ever call – You’re sure being quiet, it’s late and I’ll bet you’re Ready to go to bed I sure hope that I haven’t hurt or upset you With anything that I’ve said I’m glad that I’ve put you behind me cause if the truth be told You already know the art of letting go You already know the art of letting go –

This professional all the way. Super vocals with a great backing track. This is "air play" ready IMHO.

Another pro effort, I really enjoyed it. I looked at the lyrics and thought perhaps there were too few syllables in the hook line, but you sang right into the words and made it work quite well.

The sibilance wasn't too bad actually - you tamed it quite a bit I think. the compressor attack setting on the voice may be a little slow as many syllables at the start of a phrase or word have a "crack" to them.
BUT
Cool song, well sung and arranged.
I enjoyed it.
Cheers

Really well done, Roger It's beautifully written, and your vocals really tug on the heart strings with this one. It is tender and very sincere. A prime example of less is more, for me. I thought the choice to keep the instrumentation stripped back was a great call. Really gives everything room to breathe, and helped those vocals hit all the more strong. You should be proud of this one. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Deryk

A great song from start to finish. Well done.
My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile

Good write, the emotional beats worked for me. I'm with Jim on this - whatever problems there might have been in the mix, I didn't hear at all, because I was pulled into the song. Nice mix, good singing, pro work. Nicely done, I enjoyed the song.

Really powerful and beautiful melody, touching lyrics, and you are singing them with full of heart. The cello and strings work perfectly for this type of ballad.
