Hi Mario and Noel,

Thanks a lot for your nice words about this song. I really enjoyed them. Especially because of the "orchestra adventure" in it.

Great vocal and mix
IMHO this is your best to date

Mario, aside from your kind words, I know you're also teasing me a bit with that "IMHO" line!
But you've put a spin on it and challenged me; maybe I can do better than this, although this is my best so far...

This is a very inventive arrangement and it well suits the message of the song. You've really thought outside the box when putting this one together. Kudos to you on a terrific result smile

Hey Noel, thanks for your incredibly kind and wonderful words! I think you've perfectly summed up the "outside-the-box" thinking in this song. That literally happened; the idea for the violin part didn't come until a while after I thought I had finished the song.
