I LOVE your lyrics, I hope you find someone to contribute some vocals for you.
For my taste, the backing tracks sound too happy for those lyrics, but it wouldn't be the first song where that very contradiction makes it work.

Thanks for your comments Brad.
I will definitely repost when I get a vocalist.
Cheers,

Nice listen all the way through! smile
Thanks for listening David.
I appreciate your comment about reverb. I always second-guess myself when it comes to reverb - have I used too much or too little?
My usual MO is to err on the side of caution.
Cheers,

Hello Mike,

I'm sure that with vocals it would be a great vocal song.
But the chord progression and melody are so beautiful that it works as an instrumental song too.
The lyrics are very sad, but half of pop songs have heartfelt lyrics.
I'd love to hear a version with vocals.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

You got a good song that needs to go further with an added singer.
Thank Ezekiel. I'm glad you enjoyed the song.
All the best,
Mike

Find a good vocalist for this and it could be radio-ready.

Great job.
Thanks Thumper. The search for a vocalist goes on.
Cheers,
Mike

Thanks BD. No offers so far re vocalist. I might have to invest in Synth V - 'Kevin' sounds pretty good).

Mike,

What an outstanding write this is--the lyrics are so, so well-written! I had to go back and read the a couple of times . . . just superb. The instrumental is lovely, wonderfully mixed and produced. I'd love to hear this with a singer--not my style vocally but there are plenty of folks on the board willing to pitch in. I'm hoping someone will take up the cause because it deserves to be recorded and heard. Great work!!
