If there were an easier way to do it, I'd take that route. Using synthetic vocals is a bit of a pain, but it lets me work out the melody in a way where I don't have to worry about forgetting the melody, so that's great.

I suspect that most people put in as much work as I appear to on my songs, but they just don't detail it out the way I do. laugh

I have two thoughts: one is that the chord structure is complex (you could have written it with a more simplified chart, but I see that your goal was to explore some more esoteric changes) and therefore the vocal harmonies are tricky—I think at some small points COULD be smoother, but, again, they work with the approach you were after.
Yeah, that's a tough one. I'm willing to go back and make changes, and gave it some serious though. I still might, but it's sort of grown on my ear.

Secondly, I think a good ending would be, after the stop, to reprise the theme without vocals, then fade it out—that’s what I would do.
I've gone back and given it a more proper ending, but the appearance of the electric piano is a bit abrupt. So there's still a good chance I'll go back and have another go at it. But not until I give my ears a rest and can hear it fresh.

As always, so much to absorb, learn, take away from your work. Enjoyed it thoroughly!!
I'm always happy to be something that can learned from, even if it's sometimes an object lesson on what not to do. wink

Thanks for your positive feedback!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
