    Nice version!   I really liked how it started out very stark and dry, and just continued to build up, layer by layer.   The vocals sound really good, as do all of the solos.   Just well done all around.   Oh, and the mix is wide and phat.

    Steve- Thank you for listening and commenting.  I like the way this one builds as well.  Really glad you enjoyed this song.
     
    Tap-  Thank you as well for taking the time to listen and comment.  I really like the way Reece builds the Strings and Piano in this song.  His solo really fit the music perfectly.  What can I say about Sean's guitar playing...other than hanging with him has improved my own playing abilities.  Really happy that you like this song.  I wasn't sure how it would be received.

    Scandalous Grace has the backing of a powerful supporter.   I too like the build.  Putting the layers back on the onion works well here.  Merry Christmas and I love your guys music.

    I know this sounds horribly nitpicky.....but isn't it 'pa rum pum pum pum', not 'ah ruppa bum bum'? One sounds like a snare drum, the other..not so much...
     
    That out of the way..the song builds well, piano is excellent, good stuff there Reece. Bass, great, vocals are nice, harmony guitars are lovely. Don't quite see where the shredding solo fits in, but that's just me, I like a melody-driven solo.

    James- Good ear.  I was trying to sing it in a way....so as to not be....plosive city.    I guess I got to close to the bum instead of the pum.  Also, in an effort not to miss Christmas, I went with the first take on the vocals.  Maybe in a revised version for next season, I can get the bums a little more....pum-like.
