Those harmonies have always been your strong point! Especially in your choruses.

Yet, I find the melody of this song much more complex than those of your other songs. Is that nonsense? Not at all, but it was less easy to follow or understand.
And although I read what you wrote to Brain about this, I do agree with him that your very intense intro doesn't connect to the rest of the song.
When it played, I felt a special emotion that abruptly stopped at the beginning of the rest of the song. That was a strange experience, I must say.

But all in all, this song, with that special charge, is very beautiful. As beautiful as I've come to expect from you. Praise!

Hans,

The intro is meant to be a dream sequence the individual suddenly comes out of as described in the first verse " The darkness fades a s you start a brand-new day" I am satisfied with it and will not change it ever! The mix has also been criticized by a couple of listeners, but I don't hear what they've described. I've listened to this probably at least a hundred times and I'm satisfied with it and won't be changing it!
I genuinely thank you for listening and appreciate it! TB
