Dan, you really have mastered those synth voices. They sound so real!
Outstanding lyrics, loved them.
Your mixes are always so good, loved the dynamics.
Loved the song!

Dan, well, to repeat what Mario and Dave said, we've known you as a master arranger for a while now, but now you've become known a master of the synth vocalist in (seemingly) no time at all. These vocals are SO nuanced and natural sounding that...well, they are transparent as synths. And...whew, that last vocal line REALLY rips! Nicely done!!!
Almost forgot to add: Fantastic song, totally worth the save!

First of all, I like the name change of your newest 'vox guy'.
Secondly, great use of BIAB and these vocals to highlight your talents, Dan!
Thirdly, this one is AWESOME as are so many of your songs, my friend!

Howdy Dan. I've only had time to listen to a couple of songs today, but it's been such a long time I jumped on here. When I saw you had a new one here I had to choose it as one to listen too. I sure am glad I did. This is a great song Dan, as so many of yours are. It's easy to see why it's been one you've held on to for so long. Thanks for sharing it with us. You've got those voices down very well, and once again I love the writing and arranging. That finger picking guitar was especially nice. Superb job.

Dan,
Really pretty song, and you do some wonderful work using the vocaloids. Gorgeous harmonies. Though as beautiful as it is, I confess I miss your vocal on this. But, boy, this is sounds great.
I bet a guy who can write and produce a song like this makes some great coffee and awesome sandwiches!!
All my best to you,
Deej

Great vocal group and terrific name --Fresh Fire. You may not feed them coffee and cake, but you put so much goodness in their "mouths," and what comes out is pure magic. Outstanding arrangement, production and precision. Beautiful and very uplifting song, Dan.

First of all we love the name Fresh Fire for your new band.
As others have pointed out your skill with the Synth vocalists has improved rapidly.
The harmonies sound heartfelt and like family harmony.
The pleasant harmony subtleties are noticeable and must have taken a lot of effort.
This sounds lovely and the lyric message is conveyed joyously.
Nice band and mix.
Enjoyed it!
