Hi Noel,
That is a very nice song. I really liked it. And I hear (almost) everytime when you sing the voice of Robin Gibb (BeeGees). I know you don't know who he is, but still you sound like him.
It's so nice doing a song with just a few instruments, like the piano and the mandoline. The last one is becomming increasingly populair. I hear it in a lot of songs, use it myself (or variations like ic the mandola. It is a very good instruments for soft songs.
So I think you have done a good job with making this song with those nice lyrics. I now use them to ease my two young cats. And they listen!!! One just fell asleep in front of my pc, not far from the keyboard (true).
Have a nice day,
Hans
