Ian,
For compression I used the PG Dynamics Gentle Opto 2 preset. I also used the ten band eq to tame all that mid range going on and peaklimit to bring up the volume a bit. I'm still experimenting with the production side as many of us here are I think.

My co-writer was a blessing and responsible for part of the lyrics. We didn't get a cut on it - yet. grin.

Thank you for your thoughts. I'm so glad you like the song.
