Sad but beautiful song. There's this beautiful tinge of melancholy in your voice, despite the major key, etc., which - for me - carries this song the extra mile. You sing it like you mean it, too - which is another "extra mile" feature of this song. Simple but to the point, too. Well done.
Thanks, James...
Another great job. Excellent write.
I personally found the strings to be a bit too dominate. But it's a matter of taste I reckon.
All in all, well done.
Thanks, Herb.
I set the level of the strings based on Aerosmith's "I Don't Want To Close My Eyes"

They are intended to carry the song (the way you use guitars to do the same thing)...not to be wimpy background.
