Hi Scott, Chay, Janice, Bud and James,

What those dice can do...
But I'm incredibly happy with your reactions, you really should know. It was quite a difficult subject, but I think it turned out well here, with this version. And judging by the way, you do too. Thanks for that!

Hello Chay, that's very nice of you! And I even didn't include violins...

The dynamics and your soulful vocal suit the thoughtful lyric so well.
Great group of BiaB session guys.
That piano really shines as does the entire mix.

Again, the lyric is so good and it reminded us of our mothers.
And how thankful we are that they encouraged us to keep our “inner child” alive and well.
The video clips were very supportive of the narrative.

Loved it!

Hi J&B, John here; I told Hans not to interfere, but I'll respond to your message, since you always mention my name.
I was thinking about the lyrics and the reactions to them. It's always mothers who tell us to love the child within our souls. No father would ever do that. Why? Don't they have a soul? Or can't they imagine there's a child inside? But I'm so glad you managed to protect your inner child. Is that also the case with Bud?

And now back to Hans: I'm glad I can say something too, and I mean it seriously: thank you so much for your kind support and response, but also for emphasizing that you also liked the original version. Me too.

Hi James, thanks for your kind compliments! And I also see a challenge in it.
I hope to create more songs at this level!

Thank you all,
Hans
