What a lovely tune!
Natalie sounds human. I wouldn't know if you hadn't said so. Kevin sounded a bit synthy in the first couple lines, but then sounded authentic after that.
I enjoyed the song. Hi  It's excellent to see you. Thanks for having a listen and for taking time to pass on your observations. Much appreciated! All the best, --Noel

Noel,
I remember this song.
Kevin and Natalie's duet has transformed it into an even more wonderful work.
It's a really nice duet.
It's a very cool vocal arrangement.
You're really good at writing vocal harmonies.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Hi Shigeki Adachi. I hope that everything is going really well for you over in Japan Thanks for having another listen to the song and passing on some of your thoughts. I appreciate that. I love arranging songs using classical 4-part harmony and traditional counterpoint. This is the first time I've arranged something like this for nearly a decade, I think. It was good to exercise the brain cells again! Thank you heaps for visiting the thread! --Noel

Noel, You certainly have a good handle on these synth voices. The production is excellent in all aspects. My GPS isn't as reliable as yours. You have steered this pro sounding song in the right direction. I enjoyed my listen very much. Well done, Tom Hi Tom. it's great to see you again. I've still got a long way to go with these synth voices but I'm beginning to understand them a bit better now. It's been a lot of fun learning how to do things. Thanks for dropping in and visiting Soundcloud! --Noel

Noel,
The tech involved bringing this hyper-realistic vocal performance is almost scary, but it sounds awesome! It's a lovely song as are all of your works! I still miss hearing your vocals on these though because your vocals are always delivered so well! Glad I caught this one!
Take care, T Hi Torrey. I appreciate your passing through the thread. I agree with you. These voices are incredible. Until I started listening to what people had done with them, I had no idea that it was possible to create such realistic vocals. I'm loving playing learning how to get the most out of Synth V. Thanks for taking the time to have a listen! --Noel

This is very beautifully done Noel.
I am not sure I would have the patience to use those synth voices the way you folks do (too much of a learning curve for me I think) but I am certainly impressed with how you use the technology. Hi David. You don't need these vocaloids. To be honest, I'm pretty sure that would cramp your amazing creativity! That said, I'm glad I managed to impress you All the best, --Noel

Well done Noel.
This is a sweet song featuring a couple of sweet singers. The technology behind Kevin and Natalie and others is truly amazing - and its obviously getting better all the time.
The simple band arrangement works really well. The mandolins are a nice touch, and as someone else said, the harmonies are great.
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Noel,
You could never deny this is one of your writes. As mentioned previously, the phrasing has your fingerprints all over it. And that's a good thing.
Your use of the AI voices is better on every song. i was greatly impressed by the vocal harmony - fantastic! That was a real pleasure!
Wishing you everythig good.

Mike Hi Mike. It's excellent to see you. Thanks for popping in. I agree with you. It's extraordinary what Synthesizer V has managed to do with vocaloids. It actually makes songwriting so much easier to be able to instantly change words with your singer and listen to how they sound and whether they fit or not. As songwriting tool, Synth V is definitely an asset. I appreciate your visit and comments. --Noel

Hey Scott!
