Hi Janice, Bud and Tom.
This is a very calming and beautiful listen.
Whenever I hear a waltz, it immediately grabs hold of me. I don't know what triggers and switches 3/4 time engages in my brain but I always feel immensely comfortable and warm when a waltz is playing. It must be something to do with my childhood. I have no idea what though.
This song, its arrangement and its presentation took me to that comfortable spot somewhere inside me. As I listened, it was as though I was sitting in front of a warm log fire on a wet, wintry day.
Janice your singing is superb. It was so easy to ride along on your melody as I listened. Everything about this worked for me.
Tom, it's been a while since I typed your name. As I travelled with the song, you brought a heap of memories of your past songs and how well you produce them. It's so good to hear that flair in action again. I still have such a lot to learn!
When I listen to a song of this calibre, it makes sitting at my computer such a worthwhile experience.
During these days of COVID-19, the message in this song rings loudly with such a stark clarity. It's true. "The sky can turn dark in a flash" and dreams fade to the background. I sincerely hope that we all make it to see that beautiful sunrise.
Stay safe!
Noel
