I agree with Walt, this was really a great produced and performed song. As being "simple", this is a terrific example of less is more. The singing is very tasteful and suits the song perfect. The piano pedal pauses is cutting the sound a little, maybe a small reverb will make it dissappear? And of course the solo synth violin is a big no no! More piano ballads!

Yep, good job! Nice tune. I think a bigger piano would be great on this one, but it's just fine as is too.

James,
  Thanks.
 
Lasse,
Thanks for listening and the kind comments. I agree about the synth violin, but even though I did inherit a violin from my late father, you wouldn't want to hear me play it!
 
Clint,
  Thanks very much.
 
Regards,
 
Bob
 
 

Nice...

Lovely ballad Bob, well sung. Sounded heartfelt and 'real'. Thumbs up!

Great sounding ballad with a great story.  Excellent job.
 

I think this is a very heartfelt ballad. I like the lyrics a lot. I can certainly identify with them. In the end, the only person we can save is ourselves.

Don't be intimidated by me. Lol. I'm awful. But seriously, there are all levels of musicianship here. You have absolutely nothing to worry about. I think you are very good!
