Thanks John!  we appreciate the listen and comments!
 
when you say "harsh" do you have any way of explaining that further?  we'd be glad to look into what you mean, if we can understand what you mean!
 
thanks a lot for listening!

Wookie and Pogue, thank you for listening and your comments. I will go back and isolate the BGVs to see if I can hear what you are referring too. I was giving my ears a rest from this song for a couple of days right now....I worked this one pretty hard.

Mark,
 
Bless you man, you really made my morning when I read this.  Comment's like that make all the effort worth it at the end of the day.  I know that I will probably never go anywhere with the music that I write and record, but having someone else truly say that they love the song, makes it worth the effort to create.
 
Working with this group of guys just makes the music that much better.  They bring talents to the table that I lack.  I have found that working with great tracks of instruments and vocals, makes this stuff almost mix itself.  
 
Hats off to Sean for writing this beautiful song.  He had to be talked into recording it because he didn't think it was good enough.  It touched me right off, the first time I heard it and both Reece and I really wanted him to finish the song.  This one took the longest of the 3 that we have put up so far.  Lots of rework on tracks, melody, vocals, etc., but very worth it in the end. I think I will probably appreciate the song even more, when I have had a chance to walk away from it for a while.  No kidding, I have probably listened to the song 300 times while working with it.    It's almost there, though...a couple small EQ tweaks is all I think it needs. Hopefully!
 
Thanks again Mark, for making my morning.  I hope others will enjoy this song as well.

Wookie/ Pogue,
 
I did some EQ work on this, using suggestions from Reece, and have posted a new copy at Sound Cloud.  Let us know if this has rid the harshness that you were hearing.  We appreciated every ones input.  Thanks again.

Yes, same link. Thanks for listening again my furry friend. 😊

MarkusClinus - Thanks for listening and for commenting. I'm really glad you enjoyed it. As Mike said, it is gratifying to know that somebody enjoys a song that we worked hard on. 
 
Wookie - Thank you for taking the time to listen and to point out what you did. It only helps the song to sound better. 
 
SteveC - Thank you for taking the time to check out the song and for the nice comment. Mike did a great job on the mix in this song IMO--made it sound great.

Good job everyone. The mix sounds good. I would arrange the 1st verse like the second and add harmonies in the chorus. Nice solo. I suggest the first verse be sung with less power and more air - more intimate. Good chorus that is easy to remember.

Rimshot - Thanks for the feedback. I completely agree with you. In retrospect, I should have done what you suggested. I might even go back and redo that part. I appreciate your comment on the chorus. That had to be reworked a couple of times, so it is gratifying that it seems to work.

Jablowmi19 - Thanks for the nice comments. I'm particularly glad the message is meaningful to you (as it is to me). Merry Christmas.
