Ah yes, quality throughout.
Beautiful lyrics, encapsulated into a solid musical accompaniment, and delivered with a sensational vocal.
Everything about this production and presentation is first class.

Thanks to everyone who commented on this tune. I was a little disappointed with the vocal, but as Nigel pointed out, he sang in tune and that is worthy in itself. I still may keep this one in my back pocket for the day a good rnb singer crosses my path. There are some good rnb singers on fiverr but they want way more money than I am willing to pony up.
By the comments, I need to do a better job mixing. I think the only answer to that is to have somebody else do the mix. I may have this one mixed, because in truth, I think this is one of the best songs I've ever done and I'm thrilled with the melody. It just goes to show, perhaps, how important a good mix is, and that a bad mix can prevent listeners from hearing the song.
Also - I kinda phoned in the lyrics, I think, in order to get the song out. I'm glad nobody seemed to feel that way.
Thanks again to all.

Hi TuneMonger,
It is a very nice use of the Harp and a very nice declaration of love. Your composition is pleasant by its harmonies and by the instruments used. Well done.
Kindly regard

Hi Tunemonger! Wow!!! This is quality listening through and through. I LOVE those vocals. Richko's singing is confident, easy and free spirited. It's the perfect choice for your song. I really love what you've done and the journey that you just took me on. It's enthusiastic applause from me  All the best, Noel

The vocal is a bit "essy" and thin...would not work cutting any mids.
The Beber beginning to the chorus belies the rest of the lyric's solid narrative.
The piano and harp do fight with each other for sonic space... rendering the piano to mono and pan it opposite the harp would probably clear that issue.
Cheers

Hi Tunemonger,
It's been a while since I first listened to your song.
It appears you may have done a remix - it sound much, much better.
In particular the vocals sit much better in the mix. They could be improved further with a little editing in your DAW - a few notes pop out and some of the phrases are a bit quiet. But this is not critical.
I don't think you need to change vocalist - the current vocals suit the song.
Panning the piano and harp left and right - yes good idea but again not critical.
Well done!
Best Regards
Nigel
