Deej,

Yes! You have hit that sweet spot for your vocal (with the processing).
I know I have "ragged you" about the high EQing a number of times (the way Ray rags about the lick drum "click" smile ) - hoping that you would do just what you have done here... Mixed/processed your vocal to sit well in the mix, while showcasing your (awesome) vocal AND maintain a "warmth". This is it. Great job!

Great falsetto.

It is only the strongest of vocalist who can make a power ballad work with mostly acoustic instruments to present a solid Rock performance. This is that.

A beautiful write. "Simple", comfortable lyric (well penned) and an excellent soaring melody.

Really nice use of the lead guitar between verses.

EXCELLENT mix.

Your best. Top-notch stuff all around.
