Hey Paul, i also got a massive “Pet shop boys” vibe off of this track. It’s the way you deliver the vocal and it’s also a BIG chorus that I’m sure they would love to have on one of their albums.

I massively commend you for writing this the way you wanted to. It’s good to take a break from the usual format every now and then (I did the same with Starboy and Moonman) I’m on my 3rd listen and I honestly think it came out great! Def my cup of tea! Please let me know when the album drops.

Really great stuff buddy!

Nice work Paul.
I love the lyrics and the intimate vocals - breaths and all 
Production is up to your usual high standard too and the the vox are pitch-perfect (as always!)
My only observation - not really a crit - is that it never seems to resolve back to the dominant chord - so the tension is never quite released - and maybe that was your intention 

Enjoyed the listen and good luck with your album (still enjoying your last one on my commutes)

Smoooooth!!

Retro ballad that would not sound out of place in a musical stage kind of show.......


With a few changes it would make a decent XMAS song in a film where two cute bunnies that have fallen in love but they dont know if they will see Christmas day because the farmer wants them for the pot ....but it all turns out right in the end ...has a nice warm feel of sitting by a fireplace with a nice glass of wine.........

A fine song
You wrote you had to learn some self restraint . I think it's good to get that opportunity.
I can imagine this song being a key contribution in an album. these songs are absolutely necessary in so far albums are.

As of now I've done some pretty intense collections but they're not quite albums.
I hope to achieve this one day.

I enjoyed the listen.

Paul,
all sounding good and heartfelt to me. Gentle instrumentation and vocal melody envelops you and then the gentle chorus lulls you in. Very smart.

Hi Paul,

I enjoyed your last album so I look forward to your next one.

The world is full of songs which are desperate to make an impression immediately before you skip onto the next one. The lead singer of Journey was on the radio last week and he summed it up beautifully by saying that he preferred songs that you had to embrace and give up to rather than many modern records which just beat you over the head and say "listen to me!" I think you were right to take the gentle, simple and economical approach to this rather than pulling out the kitchen sink. Less is very often more and that is certainly the case here. A classic example of your talents.

A nice gentle song and suites your singing style, not sure about the Oboe (sounded like an Oboe)..seemed a bit loud in places and did it need acoustic drums? still wondering about that

Best, Kevin
