Nice tune.  I love the sounds.
 
IMHO.... the acoustic guitar is kinda buried in the other instruments throughout most of the song. Even where it's audible, such as at :40s -:57s  and again at 2:07 - 2:37ish..... it should really stand to come up a bit to stand out as the solo instrument in those sections. 
 
Overall, nice tune and good job on it.

Thanks everyone - the track really wouldn't be what it is without Rik's guitar - and if you'd like to hear more of Rik's guitar on this he's brought it to the fore in a version he posted elsewhere in the Songs forum (my lawyers have been prepped now).
 
Thanks for listening :-D
 
Cheers,
Terry.

Mix-wise the guitar does seem to be get buried here and there, but otherwise this is a really nice tune.  Composition, performance, arrangement, overall mix - it's just really good.   And it suits the title well!

Hi,
 
The problem I had when mixing it was making sure the guitar was audible but not overpowering a whole orchestra!!!!
 
I guess next time I'll know to turn the guitar up to 11 and turn the orchestra down to about 5 ;-)
 
Cheers,
Terry.
