FJ, thank you for your honest review. I'd hate to receive anything other than honest thoughts, so thanks!

That bothered me too - the fact that the words were spread out over such long "distances", musically speaking ... so many bars. I was hoping it wouldn't "plod", but if it bothered you, then it does warrant - at the very least! - a proper re-listen and a serious thinking session on what I could do about it. I was thinking of doing everything half-speed (twice as fast) - I'll see. But thanks for pointing this out, it worried me too.

Cheers! :-)
