Personally I like the bass, but I'd guess it's a bit much for some sound systems. Got some Eric Clapton vibes from the track! Hi Alexander A Clapton reference - I'll take that and appreciate it at any time. Thank you very much! Alan

Alan, how can something immaterial be hollow?
Nice relaxing song, and I always love bodhrans in a song.
Well done.
The bass could have a bit more high-pass, it is a bit boomy in some places. Hey B.D. "Hollow Soul" is a euphemistic colloquialism (euphemistische Umgangssprache - auf Deutsch) in parts of the US. It means that due to some action or event, a person is left feeling empty inside - extreme sadness, loneliness, overwhelming emotional pain. All that said, I'm delighted you enjoyed the song. And yeah, bodhrans are pretty cool! Thanks again for listening and commenting. I appreciate it. Alan

Alan, what a fantastic song.
Excellent choice of instruments.
You made those RTs talk!
Great mix. Mario, And what a fantastic review! Thank you very much. Now, you're gonna have to send me twenty bucks so I can buy a much bigger hat! Take care & stay warm. Alan

Sounds pretty much perfect to me, Alan, a well constructed, arranged, and mixed instrumental as per usual!
Enjoyed! Hi Dave, Thanks a bunch! That's very nice of you to say. Wishing you the best! Alan

Alan, super arrangement. I drifted to it in my thoughts, only to realize it was over. Had to go back and re-listen  Very pleasant tune all around. Mix is great, I wouldn't change anything. Thank you for sharing. Misha. Hi Misha, I always look forward to your reviews/comments - you are one of the most creative people on the forum. Your word is good for me - I won't change a thing! Thank you so much. Take care, Alan

This is a great sound Alan. I thought the bass was just right. I wouldn't have thought of putting a resonator up front with this background, but man you did, and you did perfectly. You're a master.
Brad Hi Brad, Thank you so very much! I appreciate all that! The reso ended up being a pretty easy choice. The Brad Paisley and Alison Krause song "Whiskey Lullaby" had a lot of influence on the development of this one. Wishing you the very best, Alan

Very mellow. Listening to the music and also noting the attached SoundCloud photo had me recalling a time in my late teens when I got stuck in a shower when the door jammed. It's how I felt when I only had cold water and a soggy spliff. Very melancholy. 
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Well, I've never had a shower event as frustrating as yours! Hope you didn't wrinkle up to badly! Might be the cleanest you've ever been when you eventually exited the shower! Thanks for the listen and nice comments. Alan

Alan, This is a beautiful instrumental. Your work with these real tracks is nothing short of amazing. Your combinations of instruments always seems the perfect fit. You wouldn't be able to do this without years of extensive musical knowledge. Very well done and extremely pleasant to the ears, Tom

You wouldn't be able to do this without years of extensive musical knowledge. Very well done and extremely pleasant to the ears, Tom Hi Tom, That's so very kind of you to say. I'm very happy you liked the song. I hope this doesn't sound too self-serving, but I can pretty much hear the instrumental combinations in my head before I ever put them into use. It's the same with chords and chord progressions. I pretty much know what the chords sound like before I even play them (in combination with other iterations of the song project). I can't really explain it beyond that. I know no music theory whatsoever, cannot read nor write notation, etc. I think it might be attributed to 50+ years of playing in bands plus a minimum of one hour of practice almost every day. Also, I like so many genres of music. I do a little trad Country, Modern Country, Smooth Jazz, and Smooth RnB every practice session. There are atypical nuances that can be used (sometimes slightly altered) from one genre to the next that might not be a common practice among traditional composers. I put this song together in less than four hours from first thought to what you hear. Okay, done rambling. In summation, I guess I just have a gift for hearing things that usually work musically. Again, thank you very much for the wonderful comments! Best to you. Alan
