I've considered the synth voice approach, but I'm not sure I have the technical skills to do so.
All that said, you did a great job on this - really nice! It's a terrific song and Hayden pulled it off so good! Looking forward to hearing more of these from you.
But I have to admit, that silky smooth voice of yours is such a pleasure to hear.
Excellent job on this first effort with the new tools we have for music production. Enjoyed this a lot!
Wishing you everything good.
Alan
Alan...you should give it a try...as talented as you are with BiaB you'd catch on real quick...thanks for your comments...Dan

But with that said, I feel you did a Pro calibre job here using that tool. This track sounds amazing to me! I really have great admiration for your work and always love the message!
Don't ever stop creating these awesome songs!
Thanks, TB
Torrey...man you're still in top form...my days are past but I'm not done with music...hopefully I can write again now and have a voice (albeit virtual) to sing with! I always appreciate your encouragement! Dan

Have to say...my preference would be to hear your "write to your voice" as it is today. The "difference" could become "a cool new voice"?????
(I'm experiencing the old-age-degradation thing, too. I expected I'd lose most at the top, but it's the bottom that gives me the most trouble...)
Nice to hear some "new" sounds coming 'round.
That being said, I thought the claps were overdone (too constant through the song). Opinion.
I enjoyed your piano work on this.
There is a "fresh-ness" to the write. I like it!
Looking forward to where you go from here...
Keep it up.

Floyd...I really appreciate your comments...yeah, a whole new world...I noticed the low range was the first to go for me also...hard to sing and breathe and that means loss of proper pitch so ...that's the end game for me...oh well onward and upward! Thanks for your comments...Dan

Suspect you will continue to refine your skills in very short order, and produce music that's even closer to what you're hearing in your head. I really applaud your creativity and effort in deciding to do this at all, much less at such a very high level. Would have been way too easy to quit. Bravo!
Ron...I'm not done posting old recordings (my archives are not complete yet) but this gives my writing a fresh birth I think...I really appreciate your kind comments...Dan
