I really like that.
Of course, I really LOVE the lyrics - you’re singing about something that’s very close to my heart.
And you do it really well.

Enjoyed my listens a lot smile[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]
Thanks, Brain. Yeah, i do get carried away in the percussion tracks, especially in a song like this. i never use -or almost never use-- any of the preset tracks in EZD because i like writing them myself.

Well done Marty, made me stop and think. Kind regards.
Thanks, Lee. Glad you liked the chimes too. It just seemed appropriate there.

I think your vocal can come up a couple of dbs.

Thanks, Vic. My vocal should never come up --that's why i like to sing behind a wall of sound.

The tempo compliments the feeling of slowing down to look around. Very nice work!

Thanks, John. I like the Moody Blues connection. This one needed a minor key to keep the mood receptive --if that makes any sense.

Enjoy whatever happens!
