Great performance, Bob!

Your song is very very nice, your vocals are wonderful, and the song is too short.
Everyone said the same in all kind of words, but I can only fully agree with all those compliments and you have earned them.

Were this your vocals back then or can you still sing that high?

Merry Christmas for you and Anne-Marie,
Hans

Rob,

Loved that Piano and Cello opening! Your vocal on this is one of your best and that is really saying something! The work with the strings is excellent! Loved every part of it!

Thanks, T

Oh, you know you're good when you can't tell if it's you or Brent. Your vocal is just so wonderfully good, Rob. I want the album version --you know, the longer one. The strings add a nice touch to this very pleasing mix. Beautifully written and produced.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Not easy at all to sing this well. Bravo.

If I am to REALLY nitpick (and who am I to nitpick? but I'll do it anyway, haha ... please forgive me), I would just say that I would have loved your voice to have been EQed so that it has an ever so slightly darker timbre in it. It sounds really great as it is, don't get me wrong!!! but I just thought that a little darker timbre might give it a more smouldering, "real" feel to it. Bit like the difference between milk chocolate and dark chocolate, perhaps? But what do I know!!! :-)

In any case, loved it. Well done.


Thank you, really appreciate your comment.

I've added the lyrics a couple of days ago.

About the EQ of the voice. I usually remove a lot of low frequencies because I found that the result can sometimes be little bit muddy. But in this case I might've left them in.

I will certainly consider your advice in future songs.

Very lovely songwriting. Nice simple story with the right amount of melancholy.
Excellent simple arrangement, every instrument has its moment and place, the strings and the piano work nicely together and the lead guitar is the icing on the cake.
But even top of all those, there is that magical fragile vocal performance.

Lovely song that, as Janice said, “pulls at your heart.”

Your vocal sounds great and your guitar solo blends so well with the piano.

We can see why it is one of your favorites!

Happy holidays!
