Absolutely beautiful song and great arrangement!! Take care. Greg

We tend to agree with some of these responses.
We like the song and we're definitely in favor of a video to go with it.
As for the arrangement:
Lawrence, your voice should probably be a bit louder here and Janice's voice a little less loud.
We also think (but that's just our opinion) that Janice's second voice shouldn't be present all the time, considering the song's build up.

I enjoyed the video.

Thanks y'all. I'll defer to Lawrence's explanation of how this arrangement came about but I really like the way he took a straight harmony and built something completely new around the one solo harmony part. It's certainly different but for me it's much more
expressive of the lyrics than the original tight harmony version. I do appreciate everybody's insightful comments.

Thank you! He wrote a heckuva tune. I was thrilled to be invited in.
