I might have made the piano a little louder (Dan will agree), but all in all it's a solid mix.
I LOVE the sax parts and your arrangement in general.
Well done by both of you!
Thanks, Brain. Yeah, I'll admit we've both been in bands for years smile but I know what you mean and appreicate it. Dan is seamless in whatever he does. A true pro. It was tough getting all of those pieces together. I brought the piano up here and there, especially in the last verse. I should really put out a version with just Dan's strings and piano --they are so good.

Thanks, Wolfgang. I'm so pleased that you give me advice on how to make the vocal track better, and i'll try it. Unfortunately, I don't think of myself as a singer --just a bassist who writes songs. hehe My best singing is strumming a guitar and wailing it out, but no one wants to hear that either. smile I know my songs could be so much better with real singers, but... I'd try synths like many here, but it would likely take me too long to figure them out.

Classic love song in a classic ballad sound from the soundtrack of your life, has nice European vibe. Love the sax, always perfect for a perfect love song smile The strings fit excellently, wish they were mixed more upfront because they sound so great, but I understand that the organ and the piano are already competing with them, anyway they all create a lush and warm description of That Night.
And your vocals are truly heartwarming.

Ah, Janne, Your comments are always so heartwarming yourself, my friend. Thanks so much for listening to the whole album. There's a map showing the 3 people who listened, and there's a big star right over your house. smile Yes, you're right, those strings add so much and they're so well crafted. Like I mentioned to Brain above, I should post a version of just Dan's contribution so you all can hear just how valueable it is.

Enjoy whatever happens!
