Also I would have let the female vocals ended high or up in the last 2 words where the song ends. Now the voice went down.

Hi, Hans.

Thanks for the feedback!

I may go back and do a bit of additional widening on the mix. Usually I'll throw a stereo widener in just to do exactly that, but I didn't this time. This arrangement is intentionally a bit simpler than I usually do, and I kept the strings fairly simple as well.

I intentionally did the same with the vocals - there's only one place where the harmony echoes the melody; in the remainder it's fairly simple. I picked a simpler chord progression as well.

As for the ending cadence... well, I've always - and probably incorrectly - read a bit of a melancholy into the poem. So for me personally, it fits.

But you're probably right about that, too. laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
