Very creative work here! Love what you did with the video! Great to see you perform! You must have spent a ton of time editing that film work. That mix sounds super to me! Alison's work on this really pulls this tune together...it's excellent! Top notch work!

Thanks, Torrey

This is really great Ray. The cello, the metallic FX on your vocal, the black-and-white video. It all cumulates in a compelling (but eerie) experience.

Well, we loved the song already but this video was great.

The black and white vintage educational film with your face appearing and disappearing in the dark at just the right points gave us chills. The lonely, cold faraway look on the face of the star actress was perfect.

Again, Allison ‘s mournful cello tugs at your heart.

This was definitely worth the wait, Ray!

Ray,
Cool video for this beauty.
Probably one of the best mixed tunes I have heard by you. Very professional. Alison is a wonderful player, adds a deep layer of drama to this. Liked it! Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

The mix is perfect to my ears. Is it a new mix or just my imagination? I love what you did with the video. The footage meshes well with the song.

Thanks Rob,
The cello is the backbone of the song. I had used an RT cello in the draft versions and it was nice but having a person listen and create with the instrument is always going to be something extra.
