I believe you, with every line and every verse, and I end up smiling, no matter my previous mood, and no matter what song of yours I listen to. Well done ... it's 7:06 in the morning, here, and you've just put a grin as wide as my face on said face, together with a feeling of optimism for the day ahead. Loved your singing, too smile Oh, and: if you hadn't mentioned the Mozart chord progression, I would have never guessed the source of your inspiration. This is you, all the way, for me. Hats off, BRAVO.

Hi James.

Thank you for dropping in. It's always great to see you smile and I really appreciate your comments a great deal. I really wish this was me singing instead of the Synth V voice, Liam. That said, though, I did record myself singing this song and then I did my best to adjust Liam so that he sang with my phrasing and intonation. I put quite a bit of effort into his presentation so I guess in one sense (at least), I am almost singing.

I was very fortunate to have a mother who could always—and I mean "100% of the time"—find a silver lining in the blackest of storm clouds. I don't know how she did it. Her words always managed to bring comfort and understanding to overwhelming situations. It came naturally to her. Maybe being born and growing up in country Tasmania was the key to her outlook. I am nowhere near as resilient and positive as she was, but I guess a few things must have rubbed off on me during my upbringing.

Thank you once again.
--Noel
