Hi Robb,
Your wife has a wonderfully ethereal quality to her voice. I really liked listening to her singing.





She says thank you.

I found myself wondering about how an acoustic (or electronic), plucked bass would sound rather than the sustained bass




Thanks for the thought.

Quote:

Musically, this song is very well assembled in all aspects. It is well written, well arranged and well produced. Kudos to you!





I happy to hear it worked. Thank you for the kind words.

At 5 minutes, though, it felt slightly longish. Have you thought about making the intro a little shorter?




Yes... and likely will if anything more becomes of the song.

Quote:

Lyrically, you've invented some terrifically rich word phrases [snip]
They are wonderfully original and created good, strong images.




Thank you again. I love playing with words. It is doubtless the most interesting aspect of songwriting for me.

At the end of the song, though, I wasn't sure of the journey that I'd been on. [snip] while the genre is outside my understanding, I can feel the strong sense of musical "impressionism" that your lyrics conveyed.





At the request of my wife, the lyric was written to leave an esoteric impression. Perhaps a feeling of, "Something mysterious just happened".

Thanks for the thoughtful comments!
