Lynn,
 
This mix is really good.  Maybe a little more low-end needed but overall very well balanced and well done.   I like your use of percussion throughout, it really drives the song well.
 
The video was good too.  Are those stock video library shots?   You did a nice job telling the story with them. 
 
Regards

Robert, thanks for listening again and reporting.  Your idea of a slight dip in the mid range is interesting.  That's one I'll file away for trying as I finalize this mix.
 
Erin, thanks for listening and your input.  You pointed out an interesting dilemma for mix engineers, today.  Trying to get low end audible on today's small laptop speakers is quite a challenge.  As soon as I get it audible on my tablet's speakers, it gets boomy on a high end system with subs.  The truth is;  I'm PO'd that people are willing to listen on these toy speakers in the first place.  But I recognize reality - that may be all that's available for some.  I try to use ear buds to find that delicate balance.
 
Kenny, I appreciate your time and response.  Congratulations to you for your fine video work, lately.
 
Mark, thanks for your kind words.  I may yet be able to squeeze a few db's for the low end in my final version.  Much of the video came from Video Blocks, archive.org, and Youtube which has a wealth of royalty-free videos.

I am using cheap ear-bud headphones here at work, but it sounds pretty clean to me!  I can tell there's a difference.
 
BTW, I like the intro and ending.

Sounds good to me Lynn.  Great song!  I liked it before too. :)
 
This one could be a TV show theme song if you found the right one.  Maybe a show about ecology or nature or similar.

I really liked it Lynn, great sentiment, and the video is first rate.
Here in Australia, every year there are more and more record breaking weather events, the population is expanding beyond our ability to cope with the demands that puts on the infrastructure, and our world heritage coral reefs are being destroyed by warming waters and big businesses that dredge straight through them stating only that they've "done the impact studies and there's nothing to worry about".
(sorry about the rant)
I'll leave it to others, with more experience than me, to give advice on the production and the mix, but I will say that I didn't mind the ending at all. Great job.

Steve, thanks for your time and input.  At some point in the process, I use cheap Sony Walkman style ear buds to see if I'm in the ballpark.  Thanks for the comment about the beginning and ending which were changed due to popular demand.
 
Walt, it's always good to hear from you.  I remember you fine comments from before.  Maybe the Science Channel will hear of this ;)  
 
Wayne, we hear of your hot summers and climate changes, too.  It breaks my heart to hear of the reefs slow destruction, which is why I included shots of the beautiful corals while they still are in decent shape.  Thank you for your kind words and time.

Yes, most excellent, Lynn.  I was wondering about the bongos too, EZD, cool.  Loved the dual video effect, was that you playing guitar?  I liked the way the video progressed from macro to micro, really drove the message home.
 
Wonderful production.

This video should be displayed on the UN opening along with Rivers Of The Sky. I have had a nice time here in front of my computer watching all your videos. Great production - funny sometimes and more serious other times - everything working out well though.
Thnx eko

olemon-I've been away for a while and I'm surprised to see a response to this thread.  Thank you for your  kind words which are very encouraging.  Yes, that's me playing guitar.  Thanks for asking.
 
eko-Thank you for taking the time to check out my videos.  Your kind words make it all worthwhile.

Like the new mix Lynn. The video is awesome and the music sounds good. I do however like to look at earth as God's planet and He let's us live here and call it home. It is man that does destroy everything on it and in it, and it has been that way ever since mans existence and will be our final fall. For the most part you do show the greed of man running rampant from continent to continent, on land, in the air and in the sea. Love above all heals all things. Great work on the video, I jealous.
 
Peace and Blessings, John
