Thanks, BD. I love it when earworms find a home.

I hope she likes it. I'm sure she likes it.

Thanks, Vic. There were some not-so-good moments too, but it was quite rewarding to learn through them. And the rewards continue.

The chorus soars. Wow.

"I never would have seen the sky in such a pleasing blue
I never would have known such love. I never would have you." Those are my favorite lines.

I bet she cried after hearing this.

Sonically, that last chord doesn't fit. Have you tried making a BIAB guitar chord an F6 using Meladyne?

Thanks, Scott. Great feedback. I'm jumping ahead here a bit, but I like Ray's reply to the F6. [see below] But I know what you mean. The sound of that instrument was way too different than the rest of the song, but... It was weird that I couldn't get the BiaB players to sustain the chord. I don't have that version of Melodyne --just the monotone one. Hey, those are also Barb's favorite lines.

Nicely done Marty.
Not sure if I'm noticing the same thing but the outro seems abrupt and not quite resolved. Could be a preferrence thing?
Nonetheless nicely done.

Thanks, Steve. I knew the last chord was sounding wrong, although I like the F6 for reasons Ray mentions. I would have preferred to get it right with BiaB, but I had to move on. My only other available option was to fade or something. Thanks for listening to the end, and your honest opinion. Much appreciated.

Thanks, Torrey

Thanks, Torrey. Yep, she liked this song, especially the part of creating the need for it.

Enjoy whatever happens!
