Lynn-  Thanks for dropping in and listening to this song.  I was thinking the exact same thing about the last couple of songs you posted; we have all come a long way.  
 
Jimmy-  Wow....high praise coming from you Bro.  Glad you like the song; its up there as one of my favorites as well.  We are into our second album as a group and so far....I'm really liking this new material by the band.

Very nice...   For me, during the intro it almost sounds like the acoustic guitars are "cradling" the vocals in the center.   And when the band comes in it's a good blend with everything still very clear.   I also liked the dryness of the vocals... it seems to fit.

Thanks stevec. Mike did a great job mixing this song. I'm sure he'll appreciate your comment.

Hey Steve, thanks for listening and commenting.  Thank you for pointing out that the acoustics seem to cradle the vocal; that's exactly what I was going for.  Sean doubled his acoustic by playing it twice.  I was amazed that he was able to make them match so closely, especially when it is finger picked.  I spread each track left and right and allowed for a pocket for the vocal to sit down into.  
 
I also was going for a real intimate feel for this song and elected to go very light on the reverb and FX's on the vocal.  In this song, that intimacy seemed to work really well.  We experimented with doubling and tripling Sean's own voice in the choruses, but it started to take away from that intimate feel.  As a band, we made the decision to stick with just our 3 lone voices, blended together in the choruses.  
 
All fun stuff.
