THANKS for giving the tune a chance! Dusty has a great voice, and I like the way the resonator tosses in those few weepy fills, too.

Pleasant melody and arrangement, although I missed some dramatic changes or breaks in the instrumentation to give room for tears.

Excellent singing, it's difficult to express strong personal emotions when singing from a third-person perspective, but your singer manages to do it, especially in the nice emotional lift up in the last chorus. And the harmonies sound sweet.

Janne, I felt confident that a listen to The World's Saddest Song in The World's Happiest Country wouldn't be a problem. smile So nope, no positives here, just one gut punch after another. I DID provide a two bar interlude before the first chorus for the listener to try to regain composure. Must not have been enough. The growling vocal lift in the last chorus was a Dusty ad lib, and he really nailed it. Mike drop time for me. Anyway, I did really enjoy layering in the subtle harmonies, THANKS for mentioning!
