Very unusual tune. Poetry is haunting-beautiful. Intricate phrasing.
Hand drums work very well on this. Production is A+ Enjoyed this a lot.

Thank you for sharing!

I appreciate that, Misha.

As Misha noted, it's an unusual tune, more poetry set to music. You've got a unique voice in terms of how you approach songs, and this is no exception.

Well mixed, musically interested, expressive, emotional singing.

In terms of being too personal, well... I suspect that's meant more an explanation of the song than an question.

But yes - some songs can be way too personal. Thanks for the heads up.

And thanks for posting!


Thanks for the positive comments, particularly on the vocals.
My intro comments probably reflect a hesitance about posting this one-closet skeletons and all that.

The combination of the muted acoustic and the newage piano is super (you've used many of my favorite RTs in this!).

Your vocal is perfect....an as-good-as-it-gets performance. Perfectly mixed.
The whole mix is excellent. Everything about this is top-notch.

A STUNNING write. Absolutely broke my heart. Start to finish quote-worthy.
(a career-defining type write.)

A real WOW.

Floyd,
I`m pleased you liked the acappella opening- it was a late choice to believe the harmonies were good enough.
Getting the percussive guitar a little under the pretty piano seemed to do the trick.
Your comments are so supportive- I can`t thank you enough for the careful listening and sensitivity behind your reviews.

Robert
