So Izzy my friend,

This is a GREAT song. I'm jealous.

I do however have some thoughts, because I think there are some production possibilities here that could take this into the land of unforgettable epicness.

In any situation, when faced with a song of this caliber, I often ask:

What would Chris Martin do? Let me see, we have a concert in Paris, I have 50,000 people in the crowd, and they're all holding up little flashlights. I have them in the palm of my hand. How should I play this?

Well first of all, I know I'm going to start off with just a piano in the very opening where you know they all start screaming, but I'm going to play it cool.

I'm just going to lean in really close to the mic and tease the hell out of them, get all breathy, sexy, soft and emotional, maybe just a tiny bit hoarse, until the chicks just can't take it anymore and start going nuts.

Maybe I'll do it this way all the way through the first chorus.

But you know what's about to happen now.

In the background you hear a slowly building Tom with the piano. Just boom boom boom boom.

And then to the left a simple, strummed acoustic, while a simple electric arpeggio loaded with reverb starts rising on the right channel.

And the vocal gets louder and louder until it reaches that fever pitch that you have at the beginning of the song because you're holding back on that until the chicks start to faint and pass out in the front row.

But when you hit chorus two, oh man the salad hits the chopper, and the mosquito hits the fan, and it all comes down.

And you're sitting right in the pilot's seat with your hands on the handles and this jumbo jet takes off man.

And then everyone is swaying and rocking and crying and the tears are flooding down everyone's cheeks and you're right in the spotlight.

And then you hit that final piano chord that holds out forever.

Then when it's over the roar from the crowd is so loud you can hardly hear anything but you can hear this:

Thank you Paris! We're Cold Izzy! See you in Tokyo! Good night!!

Go on man you can do it.
