It wasn't easy to sing .......would have never known it from the way you guys handled it!! This is beautifully done. "Hard believing" is an unusual use of English but that makes it a very intriguing and special. This may be my favorite of so many great songs you guys have posted. The pedal steel sounds completely custom. WONDERFUL!! Take care. Greg

Love it.


Hi Rob and Anne-Marie,

I enthusiastically agree with Josie. This is an incredible sound. The way that the harmony, instruments, vocals, composition and arrangement all inter-twine to produce a fullness of musical texture that shines. 'Outstanding' is the word that bounced around in my mind as a I listened.

It certainly is a very fine audio-visual submission with which to conclude 2016.

All the best for Christmas and beyond,
Noel

Hi Rob & Anne-marie,

What a pleasure to hear your wonderful music again ... we've always thought you two were among the very best on these forums.

Once you've added all that's necessary and then take away anything not absolutely needed, most often the result is a fantastic musical creation. This is what you have here. everything needed for the sound was there and we heard absolutely nothing that shouldn't have been there. And as already said, the vocals are exceptional. This is a really great song!!!!

Merry Christmas and wishing you a fruitful 2017.

Alan & Di

Hello, Rob & Anne-Marie

As Robert said, "Terrific! Yes, you are ending the year on a high note."
Your harmony is very beautiful and pleasant.
The combination of only a few instruments is favorable.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best Regards.

Shigeki Adachi

When the video opened with an aerial view of the beach, accompanied by a solitary guitar , I knew it was going to be good in the way that your productions always are.

You both have your fingers squarely on the pulse of a discerning audience, and you know how to raise the excitement level of your listeners by starting out good and then ramping it all up to the next level.

I liked the ramp up at the 1:30 mark when the pedal steel came in and the ambient background appeared. Very nice!

Meanwhile, the video masterfully and tastefully complemented the audio, making the whole presentation better than the sum of its parts.

I agree that the key you chose for the song resulted in a powerful performance from both of you.. but I'm curious to know why you didn't choose a key you felt more comfortable with. Was it because that key was the only one that put both of your parts in range at the same time?

As we end the year, let me thank you both for all the wonderful music you have presented her in this forum, and for the support you've shown for all of the other forum participants during 2016. You are among the elite as far as I'm concerned.

Thank you Jez,

We used Movieplus's glow filter on the video, One of the best filters out there.

All the best to you for 2017. And we are also definitely looking forward to your new creations as we have found that they are always good!

I think this is what they called "the whole package", everything of this song have been taken good care of, and together it sounds so so harmonized and beautiful, even what you call it "not comfort zone", but I guess sometimes you just need to squeeze yourself a little bit more smile (not sure about the correctness of my English expression...squeeze?)

All the best for 2017
