You've drenched your vocal in a fair bit of reverb - and there're, (at least), two different vocal aren't they?
Nice song.
Ms. Cooper's tips on the tube & on her website are excellent.
Cheers

This is a very nice song. I really enjoyed it. There's a couple things the were interesting - at the 1:20 mark, there's a nice little key change (I think), and then that next segment after that really made me think of Ringo Starr - maybe it was the combination of the voice and the style, but that kicked it up a notch.
Happy New Year!

Two voices, both my own, one harmonized. I liked the effect and decided to keep it in the mix. Well picked up indeed. Thank you for the compliment

Happy New Year! Hi EdZ314 Thank you and glad you did. No Key change but I extended a 1 bar chord to the next bar first two beats and then added C/D to lead to the G and trigger me for the higher pitch Ringo Star https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/blush.gif Wow! Thank you

Nice song - touching write. As there's nothing wrong with your voice, there's no need to use anything but the "regular" amount of reverb.  You've got the same instrumentation through the song. That's not a bad thing, but give it a bit of "sameness" after a while. Changing the instrumentation a bit - such as starting a bit more sparse, and then adding instruments - would help create a bit more build. I enjoyed the song. Well done.

Hi Chris,
This is a really good listen. Your writing and presenting are strong and you engaged me from start to finish. The instruments that you chose to back you were a great fit and enhanced the emotional journey of these very touching lyrics.
May 2020 be kind to you!
Noel

Hi Noel96
Thank you so much for the listen and the very positive feedback.
This was an emotional journey to express how I feel, it took a number of recordings to get past the choking bit. I am grateful for everyone's feedback and will definitely revisit and rework this song because I feel there are many who can relate to loss.
God Bless and a spectacular 2020 to you

Chris,
A very emotional song.
The BIAB backing tracks are well done, nicely mixed. The vocal is heart-felt.
Nicely done.

Wow - very nicely done. A really moving piece and the whole thing flows like water. Very easy to listen to and the vocals sound sincere and really hit you in the chest. Thanks for sharing

Excellent tribute to your mother and a treat for us all.
The soul is there and, irrespective of genre, that will always engage us.
The choice of RTs and the mix both work well.
Thanks for sharing!
