Hi Scott, Deryk, Floyd, Dave, Jance, Bud and Rob,

Thank you very much for the compliments. You all managed to give me a smile this day.
This song was more difficult than I thought. The tempochanges were nasty. Every change gave a sound like tingling bells on my recordings of the vocals.
But I discovered nice things with the tool 'accord options'. For instance a mix of shots and pushes worked out very nice.
But sometimes I wished there were two pages on the mixer; one for the instruments I use from the beginning, the other for the instruments in the chorusses. But don't tell me that what a Daw is for. I know, but...

Scott, if you think old this situation I sang about comes quick. So don't. You're too active for that. Help the others to get rid of your prime minister for example...

And Deryk you said it very nicely 'It is superbly lush and flows effortlessly'. Especially when you realize it wasn't effortless at all!

Floyd, nice how you picked up the word impressed. I was searching for the right words in my lyrics and remembered how impressed I was as a child (living in the tropics then) by all those stars in the sky. Many evenings I slipped out of bed to ly on the ground watching them Thinking of that time I got this word. And I think I found a way to alter the harsh part. Thanks for that.

Dave, one day we must do a song together since you loved my voice and love your kind of music. Maybe together with Chris. She seem to like some of my songs as well. Interested?

Hi Janice and Bud, I didn't know you had a 'live'experience on this issue. Nice to read the lyrics fit well in that. I have no experience on this topic. I am only thinking how I would act if I'm in such a situation. Dangerous feelings cause they can depress me for a while. But you have a subject then for a song!

Rob, these tempochanges are big fun. Try it and you get my point. But have a towel nearby for the sweat. Thanks for the passion-compliment!

Hans
