What a lovely song. Such a delicate lyric and vocal. Loved the backtrack. This will be one of my favorite songs to come out of the forum..

A lovely emotive vocal, beautiful melody and a touching lyric.

The acoustic guitar worked nicely.

The video still shot was very expressive.

Well done y'all.

Beautiful song. The acoustic guitar is gorgeous. The music and lyrics are great together, and well-performed lyrics.

I would adjust the tambourine (is there hi-hat there too?). It sticks out a bit too much and grabs one's attention away from the overall sound, imo. I'd try softening it with eq, a eq with a high shelf eq rolled up until you hear the sound soften a bit. I'd also lower the volume a bit. Just my opinion, everybody's got one.

Hello friends,

On behalf of Greg and myself to all of you who listened and commented on this song:

Greg was very busy and my big sister passed away shortly after this song was posted.
I'm through that rough patch now and want to say thank you to each of you.

I agree with Frankp above... tambourine could use some taming...
That said, this is a terrific song & production, and Greg's vocal performance is Fabulous...
Really fine music...

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

This is a very melodic song. Great lead vocal and mix. I would like to hear the background vocals just a little bit higher because they really add to the mix. Great work.
