Thank you Hans! Any thumbs up and commentary is appreciated, no matter the timing!

Thanks J & B! I’ll accept Neil Young any day!

And as always, pleasant chord progression and melody, Your vocals deliver the message from the heart.
Hi Janne! Yes, I really like the RealStyle used as well - I am glad you liked my guitar motif addition. Regarding the lyrics, it’s a bit of a mixed bag - but isn’t life?

Thanks Scott! I am on the quirkiness spectrum, if there is such a thing. Thank you to all for listening and commenting! Andrew

Matt, Waves has a wacky (to my way of thinking) Waves Update Plan that encourages users to keep paying for updated programs, but I've never needed it. I'm still using licenses I purchases over a decade ago without issue.

I needed some contrast, and I tried and failed at various options along the way, so I'm glad it works okay. Thanks for listening and for mentioning that.

Maybe there's hope for me. I'll second Bob's observation about your mastery of the pop/rock ballad in this modern-yet-timeless style. Bravo!
Thanks a lot for your positive and detailed feedback, Ron. It's always good to hear what works best for others. "Modern-yet-timeless" is a description I can very well live with smile

While I don't relate to the lyrics - though they're totally original in theme - I quote my YouTube comment: "This is a world class song on every level. I can easily imagine many top professional vocalists wanting to cover it." I empathise with your reply … but I'll message you with more.

That price for a Waves plugin is not at all what I remembered. Thank you! I should have checked this first but thought it was out of the budget of the church. Didn’t they used to have copy protection that was problematic? I’ll look.

Re: Shut Up and Dance AurealiusB 2 hours ago Forum: User Showcase
WaoBand, Thank you so much for your positive posting! And yes, this is a good song to dance to. As they (long ago) used to say on American Bandstand, "it's gotta good beat." I grew up listening to Gladys Knight and the Pips. Motown music definitely influenced my songwriting. Also, once again Kathy used interesting imagery weaving dance lyrics into a relationship theme.

Another 'Sunday' take it easy instrumental which perfectly hits the vibe. I recently turned 75 and while I expected it to be just another day it turned out really frustrating as I opposite to you I spent hours working on a new song and it just wouldn't come together and so I scrapped all related files! It was probably the mist frustrating birthday I ever had! laugh … It's okay, I got over it and continued work on a song I've been trying to get vocals sorted for for 2 years, and with Lucy and 2 other ladies doing BVs it should end up a fun corker!
