Thanks!

If there were an easier way for me to write songs, I'd certainly be doing it.

But I suspect that most people put in that much work in writing, they just don't need to think about it that much because it's ingrained from working on so many songs. Plus, they make good initial decisions and don't have to backtrack on them.

I'm still learning, and that's OK.

The song has a very cool 70s sound. At least it sounds that way to me. I also think your singer has an Al Stewart-esque voice. It fits the song perfectly.
I'm glad the voice works.

I heard Alan Parsons say that Al's voice was difficult to record. Not that Al doesn't have a great pop voice, it's just a bit nasal or something, so it's hard to fit into the mix. But man, Al is a great writer. I don't think he's put out a single bad album (although I've never listened to his first four).

I think my melodic sensibilities are firmly in the 70s. That's not a bad thing, but it means I need to really work at it to get something that sounds even vaguely contemporary. laugh

Outstanding production. The instrument choices and mix are excellent.
Thanks, that's always good to hear.

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