@MonnoDB @Jambrains Beautiful soothing sounds. Pro production. I love the unique style of singing where you don't let the rhythm of the song 'bully' your phrasing if that make sense. I think the vocal tone and phrasing makes your voice very recognisable and it sits lovely with this song.

Just an amazingly written and performed song. It starts so sweetly and then slowly builds into a powerfully emotional force. There are two things that I think make that happen.

One is how you use your amazing voice @MonnoDB  . You lure us in with that sweetness and then blow us away with power and emotion....before letting us down a little more gently at the end.

The second is the mix. @Jambrains is a master of dynamic mixing, using every little subtle trick in the books to create waves of emotion. At the end of this song you know you have felt every bit of what was there to be experienced.

Powerful emotive vocals "Does the break mean we`re broken"..excellent lyrics & a lovely tuneful song. Sounds very professional to me and I love the harp & the sweet ending. Well done @MonnoDB & @Jambrains .

I think the 6/8 timing in this really helps to make the passion in the song song so much less predictable. That melody is so sweet and well sung too, a very delicate yet emotive performance.

It’s like all the instruments are ready there ready to explode, but they hold back, in a disciplined restrained way which in turn enables the simple beauty of the melody to shine through.

Top form again...looks like the next album is shaping up very nicely. 👍

@MichaelA thanks so much for your great comments.. as has been noted I think JB really did something special with the production. It’s lovely to read you enjoyed the song! Thank you, sir!

@5 guys named Lars thanks a mill for those great comments. Chuffed! 🙂

@Unclenny - great comments thank you. Delighted to hear we brought you through with us!!

@sweeny500 - love your comment  about the phrasing! I often have to force myself to stay ‘on the grid’ but you’re right this is quite fluid. Thanks so much!

Thanks all! Super chuffed with the feedback!

@MonnoDB Yet another stunner from you and @Jambrains. Your vocal is superb and I love the ringing chords on the piano. Beautifully recorded and a lovely melody. Your voice reminds me of someone famous but maddeningly, I can't place it. The length is perfect - made me want to play it again straight away. A lovely thing indeed and totally immersive - it's like watching a fascinating film - you can't take your attention off it. Loved it.

Hi Guys,

I've been away too long (again) - so what an absolute joy to come back to.
Has the right balance between creativity and familiarity and is all delivered brilliantly.
Lovely vocals as always and great musicianship.

Top notch.

lovely song , the instru is more intimate than others song you did realize together, but here i feel strong emotions. Maybe the song is too short ;)
