We are late to the party and great accolades have been posted.
Accolades that we 100% agree with.

Enjoyed the backstory.
We are always fascinated by the time and creativity you put in your productions.

Simply epic. We can see a huge stadium crowd transfixed.
We cranked it up as loud as Bud's ears will allow. smile
And the soundstage on our monitors was remarkable.
Crystal clear with really impressive dynamics - not an easy combo to achieve.

Well done!

A lot of songs make me think, well that's nice...okay...but this is a song that makes me stop and notice. It's beautiful and poignant. It's the kind of song I'd come back to.

"but this is a song that makes me stop and notice" made my day, John.
Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback [Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]

I think I’ve heard the phrase "Can you play it with just one instrument and sing along?" before, and curious cat I am, I gave it a try with just one guitar and the vocals, and it actually works.

Hi, B.D.

Excellent vocal performance. It sounds like you've got a bit of notch filter on the lead vocal. Whatever the process, it sounds great.

The arrangement works well, going from heavy, bombastic power chords to light arpeggios on an acoustic. Cool contrast. 👍

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi BD smile

[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]

The presentation and production of this song is nothing short of an explosive listening experience. My mind is still reeling (in a really good way) from the impact. Throughout, I kept thinking that this must be what "Pop-Opera meets Rock-Ballad meets a very inventive and musically fearless arranger and producer" sounds like. I was spellbound. It was a thoroughly thrilling musical roller-coaster ride. Absolutely brilliant and amazing.

Standing ovation!
--Noel

That's really nice of you, Chay smile
