Thank you all for the lovely feedback - as noted this is high and the arrangement unusual for us so didn’t quite know what to expect so delighted with the positive reviews
@MrBouzouki Pete thanks so much .. Yeah you’re not wrong about the high register.. We decided to leave the first chorus w/o BVs even though I recorded them as the arrangement is very sparse at that point - later there are a few layered BVs including one a full octave lower. I did play around with the “destroy you” line being lower to give it that impact actually when writing but in the end I think it suits the desperate theme of the chorus lyric up high.. But food for thought as always - thanks so much for the critical listen and great comments..
@PeteS - hear you on the gaps - I’m a bit of a divil for them in my solo 1+1s.. It’s always a love or hate thing.… The percussive sound you mention is (@Jambrains can correct my description if I get it wrong) is a piano being struck (EzDrummer).. Thanks for the lovely comments Pete!
@Sebandme - thanks so much.. completely chuffed!! And right back at you!
@pompeyjazz yeah, we’re knocking them out alight.. Working on another at the mo… Such a delight for me.. thanks so much for your comments..
@MichaelA- dramatic, eh? Thanks a milll for that insight.. I don’t think actually we’ve done anything like this before but I see what you mean and those are some lovely comments you are throwing our way so thanks so much, so very much appreciated!
@moraamarolaloba Muchas gracias Mora! You're so lovely.. Much appreciated!
@kafla - too kind, sir! Thank you so much..
@jacksimmons - thanks a mill… We’ll have a look at that vocal / the treatment you note.. Appreciate the critical listen..
@Paulski - thanks.. Lol yes I know the contrast between the delivery and the words is stark.. Caused some consternation before we gave into it!
@PaulAds - well that’s some review! I thank you most profusely !!
@adamfarr - thanks.. great comments.. Hear you on the lyric and it’s a very good suggestion to use “debt” .. I did go work a version based on your that.. You never know, it might make its way into a future rework.. I think this one is settled in though - my chorus reworking went nowhere… (I sometimes think that songs take on a life of their own) I think it might be the same with the M8.. Again - thanks so much!
Hey
@Unclenny - thanks a mill

@rightly - thanks a mill
You are too kind entirely!
@5 guys named Lars - Thanks so much.. delighted..
@CaliaMoko - well you made me check my range as you know.. I always thought I had quite a narrow range actually - I’m getting braver.. Thanks a mill - means a lot!
@Melusine2 - thanks a mill..
@LostBoy … well yeah you’re not wrong that the verse has little movement melodically - it’s actually just two notes.. Thanks re that and the rest… So not used to singing way up there in the clouds but I seem to be doing more of it.. Much appreciated.
Thanks again all.. blown away by the comments..
