    Tender. I especially like the acoustic and pedal steel. Did you play it all yourself?

    Thanks Luke – I played the acoustic – the pedal steel was edited from samples.

    That’s a really nice take! Quite similar approach to mine (without steel-git.), so I must like it! Well done… :-)

    Good luck to you. ✩

    Thank you Amadeusz – yes, we approached the song in a similar way. Hearing your entry and others helps me understand what I could have done differently, and is a valuable learning opportunity, as always.
    Best wishes

    love the intimacy and emotion only issue is I feel like the vocals don’t really glue together with the rest of the instruments it’s really good otherwise tho

    Many thanks for your feedback Dragonfruit. I get what you are saying re the vocals – I did several versions with different vocal eq and different mix bus compressors – I probably chose the wrong one! :-)
    Appreciate you taking the time to comment…….good luck

    A very good mix, well balanced throughout and with an interesting arrangement. I would have liked the vocals to stand out a bit more on that last chorus before the end but that’s my personal taste. Well done and good luck.

    Many thanks jesusTiger – I think you are right, the vocals get a little buried near the end.
    Good luck…..
