Dan,
Beautiful... Great backing tracks and an excellent emotive vocal with Cyrus. Excellent mix as well.
Very cool that you brought this forward from 1986.

HI Dan,,
So soft and mellow. Those strings just drift across the sou8ndstage like a warm breeze on a cool spring day.
Your music is always so darn good. Thanks for the endless pleasure of your talent and messaging. Just wonderful!!!
Alan
PS: The vibrato on Cyrus' vocal at the end was stunningly good.

Dan, this is SUCH a nice song, and the arrangement is both understated and epic. You're really producing some uncommonly nuanced Synth V performances. Love your piano work, too. Just a master class in songcraft. Well done!!

Ha, you know... even before listening there are many words I could write here that I know will be more true after I do. Extraordinary, inspirational, uplifting, beautifully composed with feeling, and professionally mixed and mastered. What a treasure this one is, too, Dan. Love those strings and piano and how they add the perfect touch. Very cool ending, too. You da man, man.

Nice remake! As Bob said, your synth has a very emotive vocal.
The lyric is powerful and these lines stand out:
“Choices are made everyday...come what may
For life is found in what we choose
And life is also what we lose
In choices that we fail to use”
Per always a fine band, nice instrumental performances by you and an excellent mix.
Those remakes must be fun and perhaps a good bit contemplative given the different vocal.
Well done!

Hi, Dan.
Excellent re-do. You got a great performance out of SynthV, and of course your arrangement is tasteful and lovely.

This is really nice. It reminds me of something I heard a long time ago.... Epic is one word I'd use to describe it.
Very nicely done.
