Hi there Noel, in time-honoured fashion ...

Song I Will Always Be There
Mix / Production
This is well put together with everything in place and the vocals nice and clear and prominent
Instrumentation
The solo guitar at 1:31 does sound slightly under-powered, even for the laid back feel of this track
Vocals
Pretty well sung, even when you get to the edge of your comfortable range (2:37) the semi-tone movements in the melody are well negotiated too.
What I really liked
Song structure – the ‘B’ section (Together, we are music) is especially well written
What could be improved
I’m hearing one or two lines with what I would consider as word-stress issues – forcing Noel to place the stress on an inappropriate syllable.
Overall impression
Successful project – maybe the laid-back card has been overplayed!
Writing in 3 / 4 is not as easy as it appears (I also tried it recently) so well done.

I of course, add mine to all the voices welcoming you back Noel with some new music. With my very best regards, Marc
