It's been a while since I've read the book (or seen the Chuck Jones' film adaption), but the song certainly fits the spirit of the text, but stands alone quite well.

Good job with the lyrics, and managing to find something that works well for you. One of the things about BiaB is that you've got too much... until you want something exactly some particular way. But as you pointed out - sometimes being willing to try something another way will get you to what you wanted, even if it wasn't quite what you had in mind.

Something about setting you're expecations aside or something... wink

I like the mix, but think the reverb on the background vocals are a bit much. It's not at all a bad sound, it just calls attention to the vocals, instead of helping them sit in the back in the mix.

An enjoyable song - well sung, catchy and nice lyrics.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
