Thanks, Ray. The video link has been fixed. Yeah, the song is a bit out of my comfort range, so the higher notes can lose breath. The only high pass was when my brain said sing high and my voice said pass.

Haha. Thanks, Dave. Yeah, that hesitation idea came when I took the stems into DAW and now had too much space before the Bridge. I know I could have still cut out the extra measures, but sometimes creativity flows like a river down the path of least resistance. wink

Thanks, Floyd. Yeah, that cymbal seems to annoy a lot of us. I could say it's there to symbolize the fact that dark days are coming to an end, but... well, I'm just not good with drums. In the late 80s I had to program a complex drum machine for a bunch of songs. It was fun and educational, but then I bought a set of Ludwig's and invited drummers. Much better.

Thanks, Dan. It's good to know that dark days are coming to an end. Of course, the fear is that they may become darker. hehe No fear, my friend.

Enjoy whatever happens!
