Thanks everyone - you are all ever so kind - too kind :-) The reason I chose to set a Shakespeare sonnet, a section of Romeo and Juliet, to music is simply this: I just think that the words are sublime and I have struggled to find a better "chat up line", a better encapsulating of love at first sight in words anywhere else - that's all. It's simply divine for me, so ... that said, my setting of it deserves polishing - so, first chance I get, I will go back to this for sure and see what I can do to make it flow a little better! I am so grateful that you all took time to help me with this little effort of mine - THANK YOU. I will do my best to do better justice to good old William ;-) Have a wonderful weekend, everyone, and please stay well and safe.

James,
interesting interpretation of W.S. and beautiful musical bed. I agree with some earlier comments on the plosives.
If you had a pop filter on mic when you recorded this, there is a "trick" of making pop filter more resistant to plosives... It is by attaching a facial tissue to double the screen "thickness". You can attach it with rubber band. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks Misha! I will definitely try the "trick" with the pop filter that you mentioned! Thanks for such nice comments.

James,

A cool song idea—love the sound you give it, with the organ and general rhythm. For me it does move a little too slowly. I think if you pick up the speed a bit on the melody so that each line is sang more conversationally, with fewer pauses between lines—you’d really help make this pop a bit more. But really creative take on Bill—nice work!

All my best,

Deej

Thanks Deej - and yes, after a few listens once more, I've ended up totally agreeing with the fact that it's going too slowly. I will fix it; just need to find the time for it! Thank you so much for listening!!!
