Great choice of, well, everything. The vocals and the sublime backings just deliver. The choice of style is superb, but the thing that stands out the most is that you have put significant effort into perfecting this creation.
I'll confess, the credit there goes to the folk on the Songwriter and Producer forum - Nekujak in particular - for helping me with this. It took some arm twisting to make that happen, because people are generally hesitant to be too critical.

And that's great, because it helps make a welcoming environment. That's one of the things I love about this forum. For most of us, this is our main outlet and audience, and it getting kudos for our songs helps keep us going.

I've been studying songwriting for a while, and it's easy to figure out who the pros are. I'm not one of them. There are a number of them here - you can hear it in their output. But it's also apparent in what they are able to hear. It's just a different level, and one I haven't experienced much.

I know this is short in a number of areas. For example, I still put the vocal too far forward, and don't know how to get it to sit in the mix properly. And that's pretty basic stuff, right? But I'm working on it! cool

Thanks also for the detail on your creativity.
Doesn't everyone go through some sort of process like this? Maybe I am a masochist when it comes to songwriting. wink

Thanks again for your kind words!

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