Venus and the boys are at it again. "FLUTTER"

This song has had some transition and ends up being one of my favorite ever.  From Dena's vocals to Gary Dugan's piano (and arrangement help) and Gary Reynold's acoustic guitars I am proud to be a part of this.
When I received the song I thought it was so beautiful I couldn't let it go.  It was one of 6 I received written by DenaPorrs and WillStratton.  I became obsessed with it and Dena and Will let me have some latitude to rewrite the bridge and work with Gary D. on a revised ending.  I could go on all day about the cooperation on this song by everyone involved. 
It was an electric tune until we received Geere1's guitars and gdugan's piano.  Dena heard the prelim mix and said "that's all we need".  Will and I agreed 100%.  When you are working with artists like this, less is more.  So, it is now an acoustic tune and I love it.  I hope you all do too.  Thanks in advance for listening and commenting.  The song isn't mastered yet but I couldn't wait!:-)

Listening on my Envy (excellent computer) speakers.

In the 1st minute only (2 or 3 places), there may be slight saturation issues on the lead vox during her loud-spikes (a problem I've been having in my crowded mix ... I'd notch her spikes slightly there)

2:20 middle is a great touch!

Guitars, actually, are my fav in this.  But all performances are exquisite, sensitive, and lovely to my crony ears.  Unfortunately, I was so raptured by the performances I didn't listen to a word of this.

10/10 for multi-cascading loveliness!!!  (I'll focus on the lyrics another day)  You guys are awesome!

wow....this is a peice of ice in the heat of the day....

every now and again we catch a "10"

then there are 11's.....

wow....I just didnt want this song to end.
 
A++++ work all the way round!!

What a beautiful song!  Beautiful voice.  As Philip said, you may need to add compressor on her voice or what I usually do is to use v-vocal and adjust the dynamics by hand instead of relying on the compressor. 

wow totally awesome song. i would love to hear it recorded in oceanway with a $10000 guitar and a $100000 piano...this is serious songwriting, and the mix sounds great. just awesome all round and possibly one of the great CW songs. no bull.

Philz-  Thanks, buddy. 

Philip-  Thanks for listening and for your comments. 

Rik- I hope the musicians are reading these comments.  Thanks so much!!

Tom(ThePogue)- I'm speechless.  Thank you.  My contribution to this tune was to make sure it got done.  You are all making me so happy that we didn't give up. 

Robby- I agree, the Porras woman has pipes!  I've been a fan of hers since first time I heard her a couple years ago.  Thanks for listening!

Vicente- Thanks for listening and for your comments.  Greatly appreciated.

MGHMark- What a great compliment.  Everyone thanks you WITH HUMILITY.   Great comments from where we're sitting! Thanks!

Absolutely stunning.

Simply terrific.

All,

Thanks so much for the nice comments! It was a honor to play alongside Gary's superb guitar and Dena's wonderful vocal on this terrific song. Special thanks to Warren for pulling it together, and to Will, Dena and Warren for the excellent writing collab!

I love this - beautiful.

Now THAT'S how it's done!!

Yeah, I guess she's a pretty good singer too? But that's not what I was talking about...
