Nicely done - I enjoyed listening to it. (Don't let the the number of nits that follow convince you otherwise!)

The first thing I had to do was reach over and turn up the volume... Something unusual for songs these days! The mix is very dry, which isn't a bad thing. But if feels like an unfinished demo without that extra polish.

The balance on the instruments sounds off. The violin steps in front of the vocals, and the drums feel like they are pushing the song instead of accompanying you.

For the last "just as the sun" I was expecting a ritard, and it felt like the instruments had taken over the song, instead of the vocals leading.

Anyway, it was a nice listen, and you're voice is getting better and more expressive.

Robert,

Really enjoyed the feeling in the vocal and the arrangement.

I have to agree with David on some of his nits - it's mixed overall a little low which is not a deal breaker..just saying, the fiddle is a bit out front and the mix is a tad dry including your vox.

Still enjoyed it very much.
