The sparce production is quite gorgeous. Love the pathos of your vocalist and the overall vocal performance. I might be hearing a bit more sibilance than usual, but that adds to the intimacy to my ears. Certainly doesn't detract from the beauty of the song in the least.

Didn't watch the video, but REALLY love your song. Songs about something important are...something.
Thanks Ron, your feedback is (as always) much appreciated [Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]
I'm actually a (hopeless) optimist too, I have no idea why I write so many sad songs.
Maybe I should read less news...
The sibilants (even though I also don't like them 100%) are intentional.
When I polish the vocals (as I usually do and have tried to do here as well), the young singer loses her naive and innocent character, which for me is the most important part of her vocals.
