No idea what synths you have at your disposal but personally I can see past reason, such a vast array of choirs & strings at your disposal there, anyway great song and oh as the others have said, the congo drums were an inspired choice !


Graham,
My forays into midi have been and are likely to remain minimal. I`m in awe of folks that really know how to produce the kind of string tracks you`re talking about.
I liked the slight departure from my usual ballad style the horns brought to this song, so for now I`ll leave as is.
Thanks for your very kind comments!

I hadn't expected that, because horns are so expressive. They could easily spoil the mood of the song. At least in my opinion of course.

At first glance/hearing I thought you were out of tune when singing: "with her foot in the door...etc", then I heard it was needed there. But it was an exciting twist. And I remembered you used this kind of singing in more of your beautiful songs.

In my guess of what ambiguity you meant it's the line: "feels good to let go his cane", but it could be your clever written lyrics play tricks with me...

Hi Hans,
I liked the bit of humour that "foot in the door" line brings to the song... my Wavestune says I`m acceptable there!
I`m glad my not so clear lyrics got you thinking; thank you for your comments.

Robert
