Very beautiful and worthy tribute. Reminds me of Elton John's Candle In The Wind (tribute to Marilyn Monroe) and naturally of Edith Piaf who was called the Little Sparrow.
Excellent work with the lead vocal and the harmonies.
Nice soft band, that fits the ballad style. Especially the guitars create that Cranberries mood, the viola and strings support it well.
Touching video.
I'm looking forward your new songs in 2023 with great interest smile

Terrific work here. Very Cranberries feel to it—beautiful harmonies. Just listened to the remix and the vocals sound just right to me. Wonderful to listen to.

I agree the vocals could come up a touch.

Thanks Brad and Peter for listening and your feedback, I really appreciate it.

I did a remix where the vocals are a bit louder and ducked the guitars on the left and right side a bit more so they don't compete so much with the vocals.

I think you did a great job in the Cranberries style and you did a wonderful job lyrically.

Thank you BT for listening and for your kind feedback. Always appreciated smile

Thank you Dan for listening and your feedback.
The vocals got some more love, you can listen to the updated version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYvZ_TLzCCk

"She wasn't meant to fly so high
She had a dream
But she had to pay the price
For flying too high"

Excellent...

A lovely tribute with tender vocals and a gentle sounding band. (We also listened to the remix and it sounds very good.)

We're aware of but not familiar with the Cranberries so now we will enjoy checking out their music.

We see no reason to parse this tune out or focus on the synth ... it simply sounds great.

Well done!

I listened to your new mix, vocal is sitting right where it should IMHO.

Vocal sounds very good, I'm constantly amazed at what you and a couple of others here have managed to accomplish with that technology.

Well written, enjoyed the listen.

Thanks so much for listening and your nice feedback, Rob.

The funny thing is that I often start with more unusual chord progressions, but as the song develops, I remove this and change that and usually end up with something very simple that works better.
I guess that's why I don't write progressive rock smile

You've done a good job.

Thanks Ray, your feedback is always appreciated.

When I'm writing, it's sometimes a difficult decision whether to write what I hear in my head or what suits the singer best. But that's true for real singers too, so I usually don't worry about it too much because I want to get stuff finished.

But I have it in mind for the next song smile

I've never been known as one who follows Ben Franklin's advice of "why use two words when one will do." My 8-year-old granddaughter said, "You teach me a lot, Babu. Sometimes I'm afraid to ask." Don'tr listen to her, BD. I enjoy hearing your works in progress.

Thanks Marty, especially for taking the time to compare both versions.

Saying more with fewer words is a learning experience I'm enjoying right now.
I hope to get better with each song (if it fits the song, of course).

Sorry this is late. I was on vacation when you posted this and missed it when I returned.

You hit the mark with the lyrics. As someone has mentioned, vocal and phrasing is reminiscent of Delores.

Beautiful song.

I listened to Everyone Else Is Doing It and No Need to Argue incessantly in the 90s, and it drove my wife crazy.
