Hi Andreas,
From what I cold hear of your song, it sounded great, through and through. The vocals, music arrangement and the lyrics that I was able to hear. Just a little advice, though... I am not too fond of "cookies" as your link posted wanted me to agree to cookies to listen to your whole song. Most people here have Reverb Nation or a Sound Cloud account. Also, posting the lyrics somewhere would also be really cool...

Hello.
Thank you for the tip.
I thought the promolink works worldwide.
I can only test it from Germany.
There, for example, the Youtube link works fine.
But anyway. I have THE WAY WITHOUT YOU and HAPPINESS uploaded to Soundcloud and linked.
That should work now.
I hope you like the song.
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Hi Andi,
The song sounds quite promising - however the vocals are very far back in the mix. I would like to hear a remix with the vocals up front and the treble taken off them.
Best Regards
Nigel

Nigel Yes Nigel. That's right. I was using a fairly inexpensive Marantz condenser microphone at the time. I have since replaced that with a Rohde NT1A. This is also not very expensive but has a much better sound. When I have time I will sing the song again. Thanks a lot Nigel. And thanks for the feedback. Andi ;-)

Nigel I listened to the song on SoundCloud and didn't have any issues hearing the lyrics. I agree with Greg's thoughts. Great job on the song. Charlie

Hello Charlie
I had in the meantime on different devices also differences in the volume of the singing
But what exactly is the reason for that I honestly don't know either
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Right from the intro The beauty of the message comes out in the music. Wonderful use of BiaB. You managed to blend them perfectly with Wolfgang's work, which is a perfect compliment to the energy of the song. The song has many interesting dynamics and builds nicely right to the end. Great idea on the double-tracking vocal. What a lift. Good production all the way, Andi.

Sweet lyrics.
Beautiful accompaniment.
I couldn't figure it out first until I read the tracks that the cool part I hear is the synth pad.
Good solo, Wolfgang.

Hello Andi ...
A very nice and beautiful song. You selected some very nice backing tracks to support the vocal and lyric. Kt was a very nice listen. Take care ...
Alan

Andi,
This is really solid—well-penned and executed. Nice light touch on the synth in the pre-chorus and chorus. Like the doubled vocals on the chorus—they work well. Touchingly sad song. Great work on this.
All my best to you,
Deej

Beautifully written and passionately sung indeed.
A subject both of us can relate to.
Kudos to Wolfgang for the excellent guitar performances.
The arrangement and mix sounded fine to us (listening on KRK's).
All of the tracks sounded good and the piano was well chosen.
Well done ... in all aspects!
J&B

Very pretty song. There was something very familiar in the tone of your vocal. The only thing I could think of was Supertramp. Very well done. Excellent backtrack and lyric. Guitar solo was excellent as well..

Andi,
Nice tune, very different from the last which I have heard. It is great that you can do songs with such a different contrast!
Solid arrangement, vocals and mix. Acoustic guitar solo was a nice touch! Thank you for sharing.
Misha.
P.S. If you are open to comments, there are some plugins that do a decent job in automating "breath" control. I use one... It might benefit your vocals. Or just simply do it with volume automation.

Andi,
def work on the vocal processing...there's something a,little aggressive and annoying in them...could be some distortion.drive.saturation gone wrong.
there're a few spots where the English syntax or phrasing could be tweaked to a) avoid cliche and b) sounds more "1st language". The repetition of great and later of will within the same stanza for example.
At the moment the language sounds like the scorpions in the late 70s.
There's a lot to like about this and there's a lot of potential.
Oh, the solo seems to paraphrase another song...the name hasn't arrived in my head but it will. Oh, yes, it sounds, oddly, like the acoustic nylon string solo in Come Up & See Me, (Make Me Smile).
