A little rundown on how this came about... I was at rehearsal at my church and I had pulled this song for the group. It was new to some of them and one of the members recommended I do it as a "special number" to get people accustomed to a new song. I decided to take them up on that suggestion. The night before I was to play it I said to myself....might as well track it while I'm going through it. So I armed a track with the Sampletekk Old Lady piano and grabbed the nearest mic that worked and would fit in my stand. I tracked both the piano and my vocal in one pass. That only took about 10 minutes. Then later on I spent over 2 hours adding another vocal some string parts and wrote some automation.Added a bus for the FX reverb. I am open to any suggestions on it. I am using Valhallas 64 bit reverb plug-in .

I tried to listen but , again, soundcloud did not play for me.  I just listened to one on soundcloud before I tried to listen to yours.  I don't know why soundcloud just works intermittently for me.  It requires a total reboot to get it to work once it won't play something.  I'll try that later.  Sorry.

Nice job.
 
I'd drop the strings a few db. They seemed to be rally loud and overpowering.
 
Aside from that, I like it. Simple arrangement.

This is a very good song that would benefit from more dynamics and less reverb, though it does sound huge.  Other than that, well done!

 Bapu- Thanks for listening. I'll look at  reducing that compression.
 
 Pug- Thanks for the attempt . I had a lot of problems with soundcloud on IE.
 
 Mark- Thanks for dropping on by for a listen and for the kind comments!
 
Herb- I listened on a few different setups before I posted here and I guess because of the differences in systems the strings sounded loud on some and softer on others. Did you listen on your pro setup?  I must have an ugly peak in there somewhere. Thanks for pointing this out. I'll look into it further.Thanks for your critique and comments.
 
 Lynn- I appreciate your insight here. I think this lines up well with another comment regarding over compression. Thanks!

Well, I think it a beautiful song with a nice message.  I have to go along with the other mix comments.  However, understanding how you put this together, I think you did a good job.  I'm not sure how much you can work with it but some tweeks could help.  Again cudos to the songwriters and to you for your performances.
