I've resigned myself to the fact that all the good words have been used already. wink

A good (final) choice of strings, and since I have a soft spot for oboes, I just loved it when they join in with the strings.
I'd probably make the oboe even louder, but that could drown out the male vocals.
Thanks! These are the strings that come with MuseScore, and they're pretty darned good. They don't have that "close mike" sound, but they have lots of nice articulations.

My daughter already complained that the oboe was pretty loud, so I'm not going to make it any louder.

Have I mentioned that the real reason for writing these songs is to use some of these lovely virtual instruments that I keep collecting? laugh

That's one of the reasons why I prefer female vocalists.
Beautiful vocals, even if the voice is a little too nasal for my taste.
One of my problems with synthetic voices is that they're like temp tracks when scoring a film. You intend to replace them, but get used to them being there.

PS: since you mentioned Floyd ten times or so, his inbox is probably full of requests for collaboration now grin
He offered a few suggestions on the lyrics, but mostly on getting rid of cruft rather than trying to rewrite words. I appreciated that. smile

Thanks for listening and commenting!

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