Hello, forum friends

My second post of the year is a jazz waltz featuring female vocals and a piano trio.
Recently, stem separation has become much easier, making it simple to re-edit previously unbalanced mixes.
This time, I used Steinberg's SpectraLayers to remix my old recordings.
The software can un-mix stereo sources into 5 tracks (Vocal, Piano, Bass, Drums, and others.)
Therefore, it is possible to fix the bad balance of the sound sources.
Any comments encouraged.
Always welcome.

Best regards.

Summary of lyrics

Taking light steps
I just experienced heartbreak
There are no words of farewell
Only my feelings remain

Straightening my back and puffing out my chest
I pretend to be calm
When I stop at the traffic light
I see myself reflected in the window

My whole body is wet
With my tears overflowing
I want to turn around, but you're far behind
I can hear your voice slightly

Taking light steps
I start walking straight ahead
Your voice disappeared into the crowd
And it won't reach me anymore

I'm taking the warmth you gave me off one by one
I don't look back
You're far behind
You're no longer here

Taking light steps
I'll only look ahead and go
Once I take off these leaden shoes
I'll never be able to wear them again

Taking light steps
I just experienced heartbreak
