this is a prime example of less is more, I really enjoyed my listen and I thought it was crisp and clear, still delivering a good all round full sound well done on this one.
Thanks Thank you, I wanted to leave it as a piano vocal only but my neighbor convinced that it needed just a bit more and I think she was right.

Always love piano-based sing-songwriter pieces. This is simply one of the most original, honest, and emotionally moving songs I've heard anywhere in a long time. I'm glad I listened by myself. It would be hard to explain the wet on my face elsewise. Thanks. I think I've only done one or two piano based songs and though I have been wanting to write one, I wrote this on guitar and only as I worked on the arrangement in BIAB did I settle on this piano style. I was very happy with how that all fell together. So very glad to hear that you enjoyed the results.

Wow - you really knocked this out of the park. It tugs at the heartstrings, and both your vocals and instrumentation and emotional and heartfelt. Gorgeous in it's simplicity, and a fine example of less is more. You should be really proud of this one - thanks for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

Nothing to add and nothing to take away. The sweet spot.
You are a man of many voices...all done well.
For a sparse production you did an excellent job with the build.
"A silent pipers tune, heard only on the moon
A jesters dance, this game of chance
A shadow of a man"
Wonderful line of many.
It would be hard to pack more emotion into a vocal w/o over singing it. Well done.
Good to see you back around mr gruve

Lawrence,
A thoughtful, literary write... so personal. Nice arrangement. Good mix.
Nice use of the bowed bass and the pairing of cello.
A wonderful vocal performance.

Hi Lawrence,
This is such a wonderful write and equally wonderful listen. It truly is inspired on so many levels. And your performance is outstanding.
For all the 5 minutes, I was there with you all the way. Not once did I feel distracted or that the journey was a long one. Quite the contrary in fact. When the song finished, I just sat there thinking and letting my memory of the song resonate in my mind.
The write, the arrangement, the choice of instruments, the mix, your singing... everything is first class.
What really grabbed my attention was how you used the bowed bass. I've tried to work with that Realtrack a few times and I've never managed to create anything that engages with as much musical 'soul' as this song of yours.
In a word... Superb!
Noel

Hey Lawrence, there is a lot to love here. As I have said many times before you are definitely one of my favorite vocalists on the forum. The thing I like the most about this is the open ended write which makes the listener participate in meaning of the words. I really enjoyed trying to figure out the story. Very well presented and produced. You are extremely talented, Tom

Noel Noel thank you for your generosity. The song is kind of a letter and like a dream. As when Freud said that we are all of the characters in our dreams. And it was indeed fun to work with the bowed bass and mixing in the other instruments.

This is really really good! I really like the way you started with a solo piano and brought in each instrument one at a time. Brilliant!
Your vocal is very strong and heartfelt.
Everything about this is super!
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.
