Maybe I need to be more specific with a couple of production points to get the cretique going:
1) Does this song sound to much like its inspiration, then I need to go back to the drawing board?
2 The vocals are sparse - I left a lot of room for the instruments. But, does that work? Or do I need more to tell the story?
3) I have both violin and piano playing solo melody at the same time (panned L and R). Does that work or is it messy?

PM me if that works better for you... Tell me what you think. I have time to work more on this if needed.
