Loving this song simple clean piano with powerful vocals works for me. I see you have changed the title on sound cloud I guess everyone has there own opinion either title works well.

good luck with it

excellent as always


the lyrics, the melody and the vocal, it is all simply perfect

yes, you should be a star....

do you enter a competition like the UKsongwritingcontest.....i know i was negative about that competition

but a song like this, should be a finalist....

i will pay the 15 pounds if you enter this  ;D ;D ;D ;D

the deadline is june 30th  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Oooh FLOSSIE

This is your strongest song by far for me

As it is the song is absolutely gorgeous


I do feel there is an opportunity to develop a different version of this song though...

At 0.48 I am hearing a massive drum feel and a driving beat kicking in with dirty guitars, bass and a more up tempo drive from this point on - a la Kelly Clarkson

I would not necessarily say that this would be a "better" version but it would certainly be different and may increase pitching opportunities

I was not so sure on the change of title but I think it was the right thing to do - however, I would re-record the end section to revolve around the (brilliant) "Climb A Rainbow" lyric

The recording/production is much better - I was hearing a little noise on the piano track, was it recorded a little "hot"?

Backing the reverb off of the vocals sounds much better - KAFLA is spot on about the diction comments but please do not let this put you off and try to "hide" behind reverb - the vocal was beautiful!

Overall though my absolute favourite of yours (so far...)

Hiya,

This is pretty beautiful. The piano sounds clean (how do you do that?!) and the overall structure flows very well. You're lucky to be blessed with such a powerful voice without sounding shouty. Could picture this at the end of a rom-com set to a montage of a couple meeting after being apart for a while. No criticisms here really, a lovely piece, well done :)

Exquisite ! Climb a Rainbow is so much better as a title and hook. It's all been said. A beautiful ballad sensitively arranged and very well delivered.

Very good this. I agree the best you have shown us.

The diction and reverb niggles have been covered but are completey minor.

In the studio this would soak up layers of strings and harmonies.

It is a testament to your writing and singing that I enjoy this so much, as mushy ballads are completely not my thing!

Big thumbs up xx

Wow! Love this song Flossie!

Beautiful lyrics stunning melody particularly in the chorus sung great as well.

Not sure if it's just me but I hear a definite country edge to this and could almost imagine hearing this in the background of an american tv show.

I agree with other posters about the title, personally I think just calling it Rainbow would work but of course just my opinion.

Other than that, I would say pretty flawless.

Well done  :)

I am struggling with, "Feel the wind as she blows" never seen the wind as a she. Otherwise stunning. Terry.
