Hi James,

I listened to your new version. It is a lot better, but what comes up in my mind is 'what do you want to tell me (the listener) or try to achieve?
Every time I get used to a certain chordprogression and expect it to stay there or go one step above, you decide to'go two steps lower or something like that. and that is confusing me, the listener.

It is a good thing not to do what everyone expects you to, but don't do that all the time.
The title "Dreaming of Angels" is a beautiful title, and I, the listener, wants to enjoy listening to them or dream about it.

All your sounds/instruments are well chosen, but it's that chord progression that you have to tame.
At least, that is what I would do with a song with this title.

But James, that's my taste in music making. Maybe not yours. So please, go your own way (like the song from Fleetwood Mac...)

Hans
