This might be my last ever X2 mix, as I have bought X3.  Didn't want to install until I finished this one.  I would value your suggestions.  Thanks!

    A Bowie flavor to the start..... might be the Brit accent.
     
    Piano sounds good.  I like that it stayed a piano vox tune for the most part. A little pad towards the end.
     
    nice tune.

    Pretty song.  Nice piano.  At first I didn't care for the vocal but it seemed to fit the song and was better and better as the song went on.  It really was a classic tune, bare bones abd classy!   Very nicely done production.

    Nice performance and mix on a very emotional song.  Not really my style personally, but I think well done in any case.

    For sure a story line with emotion and the piano sounded pretty nice. Nice work on this one. Getting better all the time. Enjoyed!!

    That was a song that grew on me as it went.  The phrasing of the lyrics at the start was bugging me, with each little phrase fitting too perfectly (we crossed the ferry...we did this.....we did this), but as the song progressed, I got over it.  Nice job!
