Hi Chris,

I agree with Tom - nicely put together. Minor keys always add so much emotion to a song.

I normally don't care much for an accordion, but you made it very nice in this sound - loved it!

This a very enjoyable song!

Best to you,

Alan

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thanks Tom, Alan and David.
The accordion is still an instrument that is rarely used. However, it can be a good idea to integrate it into many styles.

That's mesmerizing! There are some neat harmonic turns that offer a nice surprise for the listener. I'm sure I have an incomplete and maybe cartoonish understanding of the genre, but to me this sounds exactly like French folk music, only better. Really enjoyed it!
