OH, YEAH! I actually got chills, Torrey. What a professional sound you have. I especially love that Harrisonesque sounding guitar. The whole backing instruments, mix, changes, dynamics --man, I can't say enough about this-- and your vocals make it all so outstanding. Yes, a very encouraging song indeed. I must say that you (and others on this forum) surely have some unintended effects in MY creativity --so much so that if I ever made anything, I'd have to give you all a cut. I haven't heard the original version, but this one soars so high.
I create stuff because I can't help it, but you give great advice to us all. Hurry back.
