The 1st bar or so sounds a bit "crisp".
After that all is fine with the world because the song wins and that is the key.
I've been two & a half months without a decent listening computer...today I'M BACK!
Excellent David - there's a little sibilance here n there as well and a squeak or two but you did a fine, fine job.
Cheers

Thanks David.
Yes on the piano tracks I haven't found one yet that doesn't have a midi attached to it, I think it's probably because they played all of the piano on electronic pianos and captured the MIDI by default for all of the recordings.
I could be wrong about this but I highly doubt they mic'ed any real pianos.
At any rate if you're in band in a box all you have to do is solo the track and save the file as MIDI and you have that track as MIDI.
Or if you're in Real Band, you can simply generate a track and make sure you have the generate a real chart item checked as well and it will provide the real track and the midi right below it.
I've used this feature hundreds of times, and I almost always use the piano parts as midi which I then run through my Abbey Road Grand software.

David
I'm glad you didn't throw that away because I wouldn't have had the opportunity to hear this and also regret that I didn't think of that awesome title!
It's a lovely ballad with the right amount of emotion in the vocal and melody!
David, you're on fire these days, rolling out one great tune after another!
Take care, TB

Well, aren’t you happy that this did not end up in the garbage?! Lovely lyric and melody.
The key of A suits you well and your vocal sounds full of heart and soul.
Good one!

No matter what key, this song would speak to me, nothing horrible, just superb love song full of true questions - very easy to relate to. "why would a loving Universe make a heart that works like that", that is the ultimate question... and if Universe would answer, the answer would be 42.
Title, the band (amazing piano), chords, melody, vocals (great falsetto note) - all are exceptionally great for another classic pop song which even John Lennon would be jealous that he didn't write it. Now I'm all tears, maybe I should write lyrics on this handkerchief and wait for an angel whisper...
Just listened "Don't Blame Me When I Fall" again earlier today and this one is there on the same top level of quality and emotion. Thank you!
Janne

David I am so glad you received the late night vision and were able to turn this into a very cool tune. Just loved the title of the song. Excellent vocal and lyric. Super backtrack and production. Loved when the drums kicked in. Well done..
