Noel,
Always a fan of your stuff—just beautifully produced and your vocal is just so easy on the ear—distinctive, but familiar, calming and warm. Really sweet listen!
Hope all is well in your world,
Deej
Hi Deej, Thank you for such "bring a smile to the face" comments. I really appreciate those. I also appreciate that you had the time to visit Soundcloud and have a listen. All the best, Noel

Good song, I love the positive message!
I don't remember how it sounded originally, but this sounds really good to me. Great vocal and harmonies! Choir sounds really good also.
I get lots of use from those CLA plugins myself, one of the best investments I've ever made. CLA Drums and CLA Unplugged are my favorites, sometimes I use CLA Guitars but often I find I like Unplugged better on the electric guitars.
Nice to hear this one again!
Hi Dave, Appreciate the visit. Thanks for giving the remix a listen and for the positive feedback. Like you, I'm huge fan of CLA Signature Series plugins too.... so easy to use and so effective! All the best, Noel

Noel, your mix is as good or better than anything that I hear on the radio! Your vocal is perfectly set in this mix. The backing tracks a superb! Your lyrics are also excellent.
This is radio ready!
PS - those Waves plug-ins and VSTis are great arn't they.
Hi Mario! It's always good to see you. Thank you for taking the time. I appreciate your comments very much. An yes, those Waves plugins are the best! I don't know why it took me so long to discover them. I wouldn't be without them these days. All the best, Noel

HI Noel ...
This is magnificent. I don't recall the original but this is wonderful. A positive message married to a fantastic production. As has been noted previously, the vocal is standout ... so clear and vivid. Your mix is to die for and I simply loved the vocal choir that appeared at times in the latter half of the song. Those choral background singers gave a renewed power ... but gentle power ... to the song and made it fresh again.
Great work, Noel! Best to you ...
Alan Hi Alan, Thank you for taking the time to listen and write so many thoughts. I sincerely appreciate it. Now if only I knew how to arrange music as well you do... You have such a wonderful flair for creating. In relation to the MIDI voices, as mentioned I created them using Miroslav Philharmoik. Once done, I used the MIDI to generate a wav track and I then used volume shaping on the wav to add phrasing so that the voices sound a little less MIDI and a little more realistic. May a million good things come your and Di's way, Noel

Noel,
I did not hear the original version, but this one is excellent! Very good choice of tracks and arrangement! I think one of the most challenging aspects you achieved is making vocals sit somewhat deep in the mix and still sound clear and eligible.
Thank you for sharing!
Misha.
Hi Misha, I haven't listened to it after doing this but I reckon that this one would sound much better. My mixing ability has been a work in progress for a long time and I wasn't all that great to start with! Thanks dropping in and playing the song. Appreciate it. All the best, Noel

This is certainly a beautiful and timeless song. I was imagining an actual choir singing the last verse..

So good, Noel! I always enjoy the "positivity" of your songs. You always write with such hope and expectancy. That's inspiring.
This is really well done. Like Floyd said, your vocals fit perfectly in the mix.
Very well done, my friend!
Steve
Hey Steve, It's so good to see you back in the forum. Thanks for taking the time... Really appreciate it, Noel

This is certainly a beautiful and timeless song. I was imagining an actual choir singing the last verse.. Hi Andrew, Thanks for dropping in. Glad you liked it. I found that when I added some volume shaping for phrases, the Miroslav vocals gleamed! The most important thing though, is that none of this could have happened without Band In A Box. Without fail, I spend around 2 - 3 hours nearly every day using the software. Without all your, Peter's and the development team's programming, I would still just be sitting here at home, trying to write average ballads with my piano. Thank you for all you have done and all you continue to do! Regards, Noel
