Charlie,
A terrific transformation. The beginning sounds so much more intimate now (as it should). Excellent mix. The production does a great job of showing off the lyric - exactly what it should do in this type song.
Well done.

Hi Charlie,
Ah...so much nicer! We agree with Floyd about the new opening ... fantastic redo! You done a wonderful job of retooling this. Congrats on on the improvements. As my grandpa would have said, "Ya done good."
Best to you,
Alan & Di

Hi guys. Thanks for listening and commenting on the revision. A good portion of suggestions made it into the revision and I think it is much improved over the first draft I posted. I really appreciate all of the input that was graciously shared here on the forum. I was also amazed at the number of views the thread received in just four days.
I checked earlier this evening and saw that reaction seems to be positive on this version so I have emailed a mp3 of it to Rudy tonight. Crossed my fingers but I think he will enjoy it.
Many thanks,
Charlie

Hi, Charlie !
I liked this version too, somehow it sounded
much lighter to me ! Maybe you brought in
lighter instrumentation ? Great job Charlie !
Cheers

Thanks Floyd. The intro really sets the tone for the whole song. I liked adding the piano too. I never found an electric guitar that seemed to fit and another guitar seemed to make the song sound too busy if that makes sense.

Alan & Di, glad you liked the changes. I sure do. I appreciate your suggestion to eliminate the redundancy in the first line. The change helped tighten things up.

Gruverider. Thanks for posting. The intro change makes a significant difference to the mood of the song over the strumming guitars in the draft version. Glad you like the changes.

Hi Dani and thanks for posting. I agree that this version seems to have a lighter feel than the draft version. Several things seem to contribute to the change in feel starting with the finger pick guitar opening and adding the piano to the chorus of the song. I also slightly increased the tempo and that seemed to help too.

What you have done to this song has taken it over the top for me.
This is fantastic!
Keep up the excellent work.
Ps - I really liked the intro and the violin solo!
