It is sad in a most beautiful way.
Sometimes like this tune that juxtaposition works very well.

We agree with Dave on “if it sounds good, then it’s right” 😊
The mix sounded fine on our monitors. Nice soundstage.

Enjoyed the song and the backstory!

Thank you Janice and/or Bud [Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]
"Beautifully sad" sounds good, it's noted as a possible phrase for a future song smile

PS Regarding the distorted guitar you were looking for ...
Do you use RT's that are DI rendered and apply your own amp sims?
If not that gives exponentially more options for getting the sound you want.
FWIW
Not only that, but I've also sometimes reamped distorted guitars with success.
This song liked neither.
But thanks for this tip!

Fun fact, the violin in this song runs through an amp simulation.
A pretty clean one, though.
Ethically speaking, I'm pretty ruthless when I want a certain sound cool
