@Yodasdad: thanks! I see what you mean re the Queen references, interesting since I had no idea until you pointed it out, never was a big fan (a few really fab songs though)
@PaulAds: thanks man! Agree re the cymbals, they were one of the things I had trouble getting right in the mix
@pompeyjazz: thanks a mill! The 'suitar solo' was actually not intended to be a solo but rather just an instrumental break together with the piano hence the low volume.
@Shadowfax: thanks for the very kind words my friend :-)
@Wicked Deeds: Thank you! There are some backing vocals in the chorus but they are perhaps a tad too far back.
@MonnoDB: thanks Karen!
@LostBoy: Thanks mate, I hear you re the drums but you know how much I love busy drums.... ;-)
@crystalsuzy: Thanks Suzy, good to hear from you!
@cowparsleyman: some very good input, thanks a mill!! I'll look into the drums, think the snare lost a bit ambience when I backed off the OH/room channels trying to tame the cymbals.
@MichaelA: Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment! :-)
@Movin Flavour: Thanks! :-)
@fishermans: thanks you. The drums indeed sit, whether it is to ones taste or not is a completely different matter :-)
@montydog: Wow, thanks a mill for the very kind words, eps re the vocals, means a lot coming from you.
@Skub: thanks pal! :-)
@CaliaMoko: interesting, I never really pay attention to the lyrics at that level, I usually tweak them to fit the melody. Food for though indeed, thanks!
