A remarkable composition. Sensitive and delicate, with amazing dimension.
Well done, for sure. Thanks a lot for taking the time to listen and your nice comment, AudioTrack. Much appreciated!

Bella, you and the band sound great.
She expresses emotions very well
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!
J&B Thank you Janice and/or Bud "Beautifully sad" sounds good, it's noted as a possible phrase for a future song 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

Extraordinary. Among your best. I love the instrumentation, the dynamics and the stops. I could listen to this over and over. Let me know if you put this on Spotify, and I will put it in my favorites. Thanks a lot for your really nice words, Scott. There's one song ahead of this one in the queue for Spotify, so I'm guessing it will be released sometime in mid-April. I will set up a reminder for myself to send you a message when it is released.

Well, rats! I clicked your link and wound up in youtube...so I figured if I have to remove cookies, I might as well listen. I really like the melody and beauty of this piece well matched to the lyrics. Sorry you're in (or were) a sad mood, but it made for good music.
From someone else who doesn't know what she's doing. But hey, we get lucky sometimes! Thank you for taking the trouble to listen to my song on YouTube and your nice comment. MUCH appreciated BTW, you can configure most browsers so that they delete all cookies from a domain (like youtube.com and google.com) when you close the browser so you don't have to do it by hand each time.

B.D.,
Very serene tune. Sad & beautiful. Neat progression and captivating lyrics. I am not a big fan of AI voices, but this works great. Mix is clear and listens well. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Hi Brain,
As I already said on YouTube; Wonderful lyrics, sung impressively in a subtle song. I love it very much.
And now I heard it again, my comment stays unchanged.
No, wait; the lyrics and singing are so beautiful (and desperate). I was silent for a while after the song ended...
I hope you like that,
Hans

Hi, BD.
Sounds awesome on my speakers. The production is stellar, with the ethereal vocals and fingerpicked guitar. Lovely melody as well.
Nice change between sections - less really is more. Thank you for listening and your detailed feedback, David. Much appreciated

Misha. Thank you, Misha, for listening and your kind words, especially if you're not a fan of artificial singing (there's not much intelligence in Synthesizer V , however. 99% of the job is done by hand and ears).
