Hi Noel ...
Hope all is well with you.
I didn't hear the original but this sure does sound terrific! I particularly enjoyed the way the chorus soars without overpowering the verses. Your vocal is as good as any I've heard from you ... and they're all pretty dang good!
The brief lead guitar solo was spot on ... it really put a shine on the arrangement. Loved this one ... glad you went back, dug it out and reworked it. That was a very enjoyable listen. It sounded as good as the Three Musketeer candy bar I just ate tasted! Great stuff, my friend! You post some really terrific music!
Wishing you all the very best ...
Alan Hi Alan and Di, Good to see you  Things are travelling fine for me, thanks for asking. And wow! I've never been sat alongside a Three Musketeer candy bar before. It seems that things are looking up! With Google's help, I've just managed to discover that we have a similar treat over here called a Milky Way bar.... nice! It's always a pleasure to read posts from you and I'm glad you dropped by and had a listen. Thank you for taking the time. All the best, Noel

I am sorry for disillusioning you but I am not a minister. I am a school science teacher so maybe that's impacting on my presentations!
Dear 'Noel96'... No, you didn't disillusion me  !!! I didn't think that you actually are a minister -- it was the only analogy I could summon to communicate to you how I perceive your spirit through listening to the lyrical content of your musical compositions . So, you're a school science teacher. My hat's off to you, sir, for choosing to become an educator, as both of my late parents were. Without teachers, there'd be no learning, and without learning, we all would be rather dull people  !!! Thank you for the comment about my writing. I'm only trying to give back to forum members the true and real pleasure I always, always experience while listening to their always-interesting and entertaining music. Most sincerely, LOREN (a.k.a. 'bluage')

Solid production. The instrumentation in baby bear porridge ---just right! I really like the soaring melody in the chorus. Thanks. Hi Scott, Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment. I appreciate it. In relation to the chorus, my approach these days is based on Steve Seskin's advice. Over the years, I've been to three or four of his seminars and his philosophy is that when writing a song, it's best to enter the chorus using higher pitched notes that haven't been used in the verses. Doing this, according to Steve, gives the chorus a sense of musical empowerment and lifts both its effect and its sense of purpose. As a consequence, this approach is something I always keep in mind. It seems to be very effective. Thanks again for passing through the thread! Noel

Great tune Noel. This is well written and uplifting. I got a laugh when you speak of updating this older song. Every professional to give me songwriting advice over the years have stated to not go back to old songs. Move on to new ones. However, revisiting my old songs is one of my favorite things to do. 2012 was before I joined the forum so this song is 'new' to me and all is good... Enjoyed my listen. Hi Charlie. I'm glad you had time to drop in. Thank you. And yes, I've had the "once it's written move on and don't go back" scenario mentioned at almost every seminar I've been to. For me, though, the thing is that I keep on growing and gaining more skills as I continue to practise. When I go back to an old song and think, "yeah, that's not too bad", I sometimes apply a bit of "what I know now" to it and see if I can make it better. On the other hand, those songs that I return to and think. "Oh, that was bad!" I don't bother with. I firmly believe that some songs are worth going back to. Thanks for taking time to listen and comment. Much appreciated. All the best, Noel

Another good one. You have a great voice that has kind of a Bee Gee quality. Must be something in the water down under. Excellent.
