Hi, all:

It's been quite a long while for me as well. I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. I just want to pop in to give proper due to Andi on the incredible job he did putting this arrangement together. I was never satisfied with my original version . . . and Andi, with the help of my fellow Sound Guardians took this song to a whole new level. Surprisingly, this song features the original lead vocal track . . . I added only the backup vocals in the bridge.

Andi got tremendously creative, using vocal cuts as fills, the harmonic guitar intro, the different sounds he put on lead guitars and fills, the stripping down of that third verse and adding effects to the vocal . . . really, there are so many little nuggets throughout this mix that make me smile. If you heard the first version of the mix as compared to the last, you'd really appreciate how much he put into it. And it's certainly outshines my meager version (which is still available on my SoundCloud page and on the streaming services were you curious enough to find it). So thanks, Andi . . . I will sing your praises eternally!

Props as well to my fellow bandmates, Shigeki, Marty and Wolle. Shigeki's strings and Marty's bass provide so much depth and emotion . . . and Wolle outdoes himself on this record with his guitar playing.

Thanks again to you all. I hope everyone enjoys the listen.

My very best to you,

Deej
