Hi James.

I really like this presentation.

It might interest you to know that before I read your introductory comments and started listening to the song, I read the lyrics in full. This is how I usually prepare myself for listening to User Showcase songs. When I finished reading your lyric, the thought in my mind was, "This reminds me of Mr. Miyagi in 'The Karate Kid' movie." Then when I read what you'd written to introduce the listeners to your song, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Mr. Miyagi was indeed to inspiration for your work smile

The way that I heard these lyrics is that you've used the metaphor of 'painting a fence' as way of saying: "Through good and bad times, this is how I keep myself balanced and in equilibrium with the world." This really resonated with me. For the last 12 months, Life has been filled with health-related ups and downs for me. It's been a bit of a roller-coaster ride. I suspect that this is why I was able to empathise with your lyrics so strongly.

Thanks for sharing another fine effort. I sincerely appreciated the journey you took me on.

All the best,
--Noel
