Whato
@paulb Great to have you back, your'e one talented Artist.
Love this song. Here's my feedback, after about 10 listens...and I know it's a pain after all those hours of tracking, mixing etc...
Great voice and piano. Thought the cellos came in a bit early, didn't allow the establishment of the vocal, kinda got in the way, if you know what I mean...
Pre Chorus, very nice, and I'd begin the cellos in there.
I thought the way 'try to make it right' finished sounded dead corny, how about a kind interrupted cadence type thing (makes people guess where it's going) and when the Chorus comes in they feel that they can relax again.
Great Chorus hooks, you might think about really going for it from the beginning of the chorus, it works very well later in the chorus, maybe a 2nd BVox would give the chorus some extra texture.
The bass and classical gtr sounds a bit MIDI-ish have you got a real fretless bass, that would work well on this song. The bass seems not to know if it's providing percussion or bass notes, as it's really low in the mix. I think I'd leave out the bass & classical gtr completely and work more on some vocals to thicken it out, it doesn't need those things in it as it's a moving vocal piece.
The flute arrangement is nice.
I was singing along with it, and i'd love to hear some oohs and aahs in the last chorus.
Nice outro, but leave off the final cellos...
probably would stick a tad bit more verb on the master buss...
Hope this helps Paul.
