Excellent work with Solaria, gave me the feeling that I would like to buy a whole album by this great sounding artist. Good idea to start with just Solaria's voice.

Thanks... yeah... kinda sad.....Touching the listener is the goal of every songwriter. I'm glad this one achieved that goal with you.

I think that starting a song with just the singer, tends to draw people into the song from the very beginning. I really like doing that. I heard a songwriter, someone who has a few number one hits make the comment that.... 13 seconds is the longest time you should spend in the intro, less time is better but having no intro is the best way to start your song. Let the singer start it off cold.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
