Very strong chorus that stays with you. Synth voices sounding authentic.

Beautiful song, Noel. I did enjoy listening. Even the ai vocals, which normally drive me nuts, sounded good/believable. Some of the harmonies did exactly what your title describes. I'll just throw this out there as my experience, but I kept hearing a possible steel drum.

It certainly picks up with the harmony vocals in the chorus.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

The light and airy feel in the band and vocals matches the lyric feel wonderfully.
The chime in the ending was a very nice addition
You have gotten Kevin to have the same serenity in his voice that you have in yours.
And the harmony by Natalie is lovely, giving them a beautiful blend.
The tender lyric joyfully ends with Hope!
Very pretty cover art
Your music is truly good for our souls!
More please!

Beautiful, I like how you balanced the mood perfectly between sad and optimistic. I'm in general not the biggest fan of Kevin's voice, but the harmonies with Natalie are really, really beautiful. Enjoyed my listen a lot  ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

Noel...this is a lovely song...it seems to me it has thematically captured a wonderful balance of joy and pain...the joy of relationship and the pain of loss...the lighthearted score keeps the melancholy from becoming too melancholy and is full of hope...the track and band are very well done and your mix is superb...I really enjoyed the listen.

Noel, this is fantastic
Great rhythm section
Those synth voices sound so real that if you hadn't said anything I would have thought they were organic!
Great lyrics
Loved it Hey Mario. Thanks for visiting I spent a lot of time with Kevin and Natalie during the production of this song. I'm glad it shows. I appreciate you comments. --Noel

Very inviting title, who wouldn't like to fly around in the clouds. The tone is quite sad, but the spark of hope is there to lighten any heart. Touching.
Great work with the vocals, your voice shines through again. The female singer is beautifully used in the choruses, fully in the last one.
Enjoyed many small details like the conga intro, the bell and the slowdown at the end. The piano and the acoustic guitar create a nice, fragile bed for the story.
Janne Hi Janne. Thank you for noticing the sad and happy tug of war in my lyrics. When I sat down to write this, my starting place was to see if I could write something that was both happy and sad and by the end of the journey, feel like the song was worth listening to. Thanks heaps for your kind words. --Noel

This song is stunning. I think I may know what this song is about. In any case:
"You opened the door and waved goodbye
And then you stepped out into the rain
I blew a kiss and waved right back and said see you later, my friend
But life often surprises one when everything is going fine
I didn’t know then, no, I didn’t then
That life had other plans in mind"
Incredible.
You combine beautiful, beautiful music with incredibly moving lyrics, to powerful, devastating, stunning effect. Every song I hear from you is right up there. You have the technique, too, but (like with all the best songwriters) it doesn't show; you use it so well, it's invisible; the MUSIC and lyrics show, the message shows. And boy, do they show. You just communicate so (seemingly) effortlessly. It's heartwarming, and also tear and gratitude inducing - for want of clearer words.
I am genuinely in awe of what you bring to the table, each time. You highlight the best of what makes us human, in your songs. God bless and BRAVO. Hi James. I suspect that your suspicions about the song's theme from my personal perspective are correct. I didn't set out to write a song with this theme, but as the lyrics and melody grew, my own personal experiences of life started to appear in what I was writing. I did my best to keep things as neutral as possible. At the end of the day, though, I tried to write a song about personal loss and the hope that the best is still yet to come. Your comments really made my day (again). Thank you so much for taking so much time to pass on your thoughts. I am sincerely grateful. All the best, --Noel
