I wonder how many of us are never quite happy (I’m not suggesting you were) with our song, and it’s only the passage of time after a lengthy recording/mixing process (that we begin to loathe) that we feel we can come back to it?

I really liked watching your 2011 video - it’s good to see a writer ‘in the flesh’ in their native habitat.

It wasn't from any perceived deficiency in the original song per se. Time just gives a new perspective and obviously the tools have changed drastically in the interim. With those new tools, there were new directions that were open to my interpretation of the song.

Thanks for listening
