The pieces all work well. Nice piano! Good drums (at times, I wanted them to "sound bigger", but I am not sure how that would be done - they have a good sound - it might be a reverb thing). Tasteful guitar (no surprise there!). The cello works well (doesn't it always?). The ending string pads were nice (though, again, I thought they "could have gone bigger").

Chris' vocal is strong (have come to expect that!).

After typing this all out, I am STILL hearing the song in my head - it has real staying power!!!

Nicely done.

Thanks as always, Floyd, happy you liked it!

I agree about the cello, what a great sound! It's actually the first time I've used cello on one of our songs and found I had to carve out some space via EQ in spots where it was conflicting with the vocal.

Mix wise I know it still needs a little work and I'll get back to it at some point. Truth is I'm quite comfortable mixing vocal, guitar, bass, drums and keys which is what most of our songs consist of, strings is new territory for me. But, always fun to learn new things!
