Hi David C, Bob, Dave and Mario,

Thanks a lot of what you wrote about the song.
This old song was actually a sad song. But because of the rhythm and the kind of singing it feels like a cheerful song.
I know it was a sad song, because I made it. And it were no good times.
So it's nice to read your comments pointing in another direction. It's alive then.

I'll be "that guy" and mention that the line should be "Come what may" (singular), but it's not a big deal. wink
Nice video, too!

David, I thought you were wrong on that point, but you're not. I was convinced that these types of statements are in the third person. Even ChatGPT, which I use to check errors, confirmed this.
But I checked again elsewhere and it was as you said. I can't change it because then I have to make a new copy of it on YT. That will be confusing. Did that once.
And about the 'folk' feeling. Read my first lines in this post. But the guitars give that feeling, that's true. Thanks!

Excellent vocal as always, good sounding track and Marty always adds his special touch.

Dave, I always liked this song. And regularly -old- friends asked about 'The Wind'. So it always was somewhere in the back of my head. And then I let Marty listen to a concept.
He immediately asked if he could play the bass part. Who can refuse such an offer. And there was 'The Wind' again...
Thanks

Nice groove and the perfect backing tracks.
Outstanding vocal.
Super mix.

Mario, that is a huge compliment! I have some reservations about your characterization of it. Calling this old song my best thus far...?
But anyway, thanks a lot for that!

Have a nice day,
Hans
