Top top quality
@LostBoy
.It's a wonderful song. The only thing that sticks out is your quiff in the first frame. You should be on the radio and TV man

Well it's obviously superb, isn't it!
Lovely song, really just sounds radio ready. The piano is great, good call getting a pro in.
Agree with others that the vocals are a touch ambient in places, less double tracking, reverb and harmonies would work better for me (though you execute them all superbly!). I would use them for effect a little more and not by default.
But are subtle matters of taste, it is just great and the real deal. Well done.
Looked like a fun day out at the beach too!
Tom.

I think you've achieved the sound you're going for. The video suits the song really well. Looked great and captured the mood of the story. Don't see any room for improvement.

That's a very nice video to accompany a great song. Looks like you should win Video of the Month too. Professional and emotionally controlled performance and a great setting/photography in which to tell your story.
(Mind, you could have worn something smarter for the video, made a bit of an effort, y'know. I don't know, kids these days!
)
Well done, however, seriously - really something to be proud of as a whole package there!

WOW
All your work is quality, and of a high standard. But this one has raised the bar to the top
What are you going to do next
Don't think the video did the song justice. You certainly look the part, and the song is as good as,
if not better than, the stuff I'm hearing on the radio and TV. I'm a firm believer in 'Cream will always rise
to the top', and if you keep producing songs like this. I'm sure opportunities will come

Hi
Lovely song - music videos are so hard to get right, was it a drone at the beginning?
Really minor comment -
The very first line when you start singing seems to have a kind of 'flange' on your first couple of words but then all your vocals are great after that - it's in key and everything it just has a touch of too much effect on like the 2nd word.
Would be nice to maybe have some "booms" in there as well on some of the key bits as the song progresses - maybe a couple of cymbal swells. I would add them after the strings come in.
My comments are only subjective to my opinion, the song is lovely and recorded really well.

@MichaelA
Oh that’s very kind of you Michael, but the video, I have to say was just a spontaneous bit of fun really. I’m glad you liked it though. I am happy with it, for what it is, but, If I was signed, or had any kind of budget, I would have liked to have told the story of the song, had flashbacks with the girl, present day stuff, etc... but, it’s hopefully better than a simple “lyric” video with a static picture in the background. Thanks again.
@Binladeda
Wow! That was really lovely to hear mate.
Feedback like that is what keeps me motivated, so a HUGE thanks!!
haha!! “Lion of the mountain!” My wife had a laugh at that!! She said, “well you do sleep a lot!”
@Featherstone
Thanks so much mate, detailed feedback like that is just what I need, so I really appreciate it.

Lots to like here - gorgeous vox and melody lines.
Solid lyrics too. Pro quality.
I wonder if the vox treatment could be more subtle near the start, just to warm us up to the song before the fx kick in, but that's down to taste. Or maybe we don't expect that reverby sound on a beach
Lovely work all 'round

Not keen on the song but that's down to personal taste more than anything. Great work with the video, i'd love to be able to do something like this.

Bleeding gorgeous song beautifully realised. Superb vocals and a very effective, simple accompaniment. You knocked it out of the park with this. "Sometimes there are no words to speak"....yes indeed.

Whato Leo
Really nice song, strong melody etc. sorry I missed it earlier, everything really great, the only thing to my ears is that your Lead Vocal is strong enough not to have the doubling on it, maybe bring it up in the mix in the verses and leave the doubling on the Choruses, it would make the passion your voice stand out more, and give some extra texture to the production.
hope this helps...
