Pretty song! The vocal is - of course - excellent.

Like all your songs, I like this one a lot! laugh

There are some great string lines here! The extended run starting at 1:50 is cool, as is the bit starting at 2:11. It might be cool if that bit at 2:11 was split between the left and right speakers, but that would call attention away from the vocals, so I guess not.

I like the re-entrance of the strings at 0:50 - the sound really nice in the middle register.

OK, this is me being really picky here...

Some of the fricatives in the vocals could be tamed a bit, near the beginning of the song. Not a big deal.

I wish the strings had a bit more bite to them - they're so smooth they sound synthetic. They obviously are, but I shouldn't notice that, right? wink

I was hoping for perhaps a bigger change in the instrumentation on one of the verses, even though there's a guitar solo. I don't have any good suggestions what you should do instead, though. Because what you've got is very nice. smile

There are a few places where the vocal is a bit pitchy. My first impulse is to Auto-Tune vocals to death, so not "fixing" the vocal is probably the right choice. laugh

My only real complaint is the drums. They're repetitive in a way a real drummer isn't. Having the drummer keep the same beat for so long made it feel a bit too mechanical. At the end of the song - after the final drum fill - my son looked up from icing a cake and said "That's such a Band in a Box ending."

But it's fine just the way it is - a very lovely song I enjoyed listening to multiple times!

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