Thanks Janne! When I was a younger man, I didn’t know much so didn’t say much. As I’ve grown older and accumulated more life experience, I can see I’ve become more opinionated - albeit moderately so.

… The band sounds great, I like how the mandola and the mandolin bring fresh approach, the acoustic bass and the drums create an earthly mood. And your voice really fits the "old man weeping" theme, and that's meant to be a compliment smile Catchy bridge melody, even in minor - thanks for the major-to-minor idea, I'm already using it.
Listening to my vocals in the raw could easily make listeners weep! laugh
When switching from verse to chorus or bridge, my mind automatically looks for a change into something different and even if I repeat a device across different songs, usually the feel of the song and where the chord progression and/or melody goes provides the uniqueness.
Thanks for listening and commenting!
