Nice one Frank sound good here but I get the impression this is going to get a few tweaks from you comments above.

Nice stuff as always with some cool playing and heart felt vocal.

Thanks for sharing

 Cool you posted this on Soundclick, that's about the only site I can stream right now. Awesome tune Frank, in fact your best IMO. Vocal melody and performance won me over on this one. An instant classic for sure. Ranks up there with "long as I can see the light" This one I'm going to have to hear s'more for sure.

Thanks Grant... I'll probably leave this version alone for now... But Lamar Morris may come over today, and begin producing another version for a female vocalist he's been working with...
Lamar is real pro, and it should be a kick... Thanks again for listening...

Well done! Beautiful playing and singing.

Thank you Dan... I was very impressed with your last post... The orchestration was just lovely...
If you get a chance, I'd love to know your opinion on this piece, after adding the Acoustic Bass & Drums...

Loved the new additions! Bass is perfect. If it were me, I might not stop the drums completely, or at least not as long as you did, but use a snare rim click rather than the full snare which comes in later. Other than that, sounds pretty good to me.
 
I'm just a drum guy, lol.

That is a great suggestion... I'll give that a try... Thanks for listening again Dan... I really appreciate the feedback...

Great stuff... Suggestions ...  bring the Organ up a tiny notch and yeah perhaps some soft rim shots or subtle high hat to keep the beat going during the quiet times and add a tambourine as you build the beat up.  Either way its still a very fine tune and the playing and production are great.  Nice work!

Great song and mix. I enjoyed it very much. Love the piano.

Dude!!!  Thanks...
 
I've always wanted to say/type that...

Frank - this is absolutely beautiful. Great emotions in the vocals - I love this.

When I saw this I thought back to "Give me a chance" that I co-wrote with Pat Bishop, Because that was the original title we were writing to...The Eyes of a Child..... we changed it at her suggestion and finished the song. 

Nice feel to this, kinda like an old time gospel tune. It needs the B3 floating behind the piano to be a bit more prominent in a few places. 

Nice job on writing. 

Thanks Herb... great suggestion...

tanton-
nice tune, got a bluesy classic arrangment feel..
i'd be interested to hear another version with the female vocals, even tho this one is fine...

agree with comments about the organ, it needs to be louder....
and would love to hear some harmony on the lines 'the eyes of a child'

not enough guitar.
LOL
i could fix that for you.....

Frank, I'm on the road with my laptop and a new set of Sennheiser earplugs that I'm not used to yet, but given that caveat, the mix sounded great.

But in my mind the mix here takes a back seat to what is one gem of a song.  That is a poignant, timeless and touching theme, and you really brought it to life.  So, as one songwriter to another, I congratulate you on a really well crafted song.

The performances, of course were spot on, as always.  You and your guys are just great.

This is great Frank.
