@Bill Saunders: thanks for the spin and the input!
@Morefrog Jones: thanks for taking the time, appreciate it.
@CaliaMoko. Thanks Vicky! Yes, I've tried without "you" (as well as a number of other variations) but ended up with the current version mainly because it feels better to sing, go figure...
@Martinswede: tack! New mix is up (same link) with some tweaks including vocals a bit more upfront (I hope) and some new takes on a few phrases.
@Popmeyjazz: Beleieve me, I had to sit on my hands not to add a solo
@Skub: thanks Skub, target group is obviously middle age people with almost grown up kids. Question is if the target group buys music?
@PTCrusier1801: thanks for the spin! No, I have not played it to her and I doubt I will. She is not too impressed with the music of her old fathers
@tinam: you are right, it is not really a sad song at all, more about hope etc but with a bittersweet undertone (at least that was my intent)
@Mono Stone: you have very good ears! I finally tracked the crackling noise down to the synth VST I was using. It is very old so probably some compability issus. So I had to replace it and made a few other tweaks at the same time that is now uploaded.
@boolio: thanks for listening! New version is uploded, hopefully the vocals are a bit more prominent now.
@shadowfax: thanks you my friend. I hope then new version handles the productions issues you mentioned.
@jamesh: thanks for the spin!
@MartynRich: yep, I love me drums ;DAnd yes, some power chords would indeed work well but I resisted the temptation because I know what happens when I start adding powechords .....
@All
