I did think there should be a bit more higher frequency sounds - like the bit of organ at 1:50 - for flavoring... Really nice video. Enjoyed the listen. fj 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

I vote for posting the lyric when you post the song!! I want to follow along as I listen! Overall very smooth and easy-to-listen production. I'm envious of the vocal processing/echoing in this..not sure I could ever pull that off! And--there is nothing the matter with you!! Great work!

Lot's of cool nuances happening through out. And, again as always, the video was perfect in well supporting the fine lyrice/melody and never distracting. Nice!

I liked the ebb and flow in dynamics and the introduction of new elements throughout. Thoughtful producing. I couldn't catch all the words, but loved the way they were also part of the rhythm track.

This sits very snugly against all your other compositions. To be honest, I've never heard anything less than the most professional sound from you. And the videos are the icing on the cake! They are always very well planned and lead the listen along hand-in-hand with with audio. There's no two ways about you, the two of you are a formidable song-writing and song-presenting pair!
