Tone, Kafla, Dutchbeat, nooms,James, Flossie, and Binladeda,

Thanks so much for all the kind reviews.  I've always been a little reluctant to share this song.  After a while, I started to doubt the value of what I had written and was not sure how it would be received.  Your kind words have made me feel much better about this song! :-)

This is a great track

I think JAMES has got it pretty much spot on with the icicle / piano comparison

The vocal was stunning - although perhaps a little too "close", listening on headphones I could hear "lip smacking" - although to be fair the closeness to the mic may have been important to the "intimate" nature of the vocal

I love the "howling" in the background, which really helps set the scene of a wintery vista, which warms up with the section at 1.48, which is a great mirror of the lyric - followed by the storm

Very intelligent writing

Great job both of you!

I'm a sucker for snow and ice imagery. Just my kind of writing. It's a very dramatic vocal delivery, it reminds me of Marillion. Very good production as well.

Good Job :)

Thanks Boydie and habiTat,

I was genuinely a little apprehensive about sharing this song.  I'm delighted with the review that it has received, surprised and warmed by the very generous vocal comments!

Thanks again for listening.
