Hi Ian,

Sunday is looking wet today. But we need the rain so that's ok.

In relation to the notion of an instrumental hook, if you think it's worth pursuing, you'd probably only need a half-dozen notes or so. I suggest that you save the file with a new name and try muting the vocals in the phrases I'm talking about and just have a listen and see how it sounds and how it feels. From my experience, it will feel wrong at first because you are so used to the other way. The ears and mind don't always seem to like change. I've noticed that it usually takes me around 3 days to get used to anything new in one of my songs. When I start to feel comfortable with my second version, I then A/B the two versions and see which works best for me.

In relation to the arrangement, I totally agree with MarioD; don't change a thing. You've got yourself a great song.

Regards,
Noel
