Marty, this is a subject that has gotten a lot of attention lately. It’s always been a problem but it seems to be getting worse. There are no easy solutions. I’ve often said that sad songs can be a little easier to listen to when put in a more upbeat backing track. You took it a step further by slowing down that one section. Dave’s guitar and your bass are both perfect for the song. The vocals sound good and of course the lyrics are the centerpiece of this fine production. Well done and worth many listens, Tom
