Cian, this was just excellent.  A really outstanding tune... very catchy.  this is 'radio quality' my friend and may be worth the investment like Danny was saying.  I look forward to seeing you on TV next Xmas.

Outside of the business considerations, this is a good, new Christmas carol.  Of course, I thought for a while that you have one of the best voices and freshest approach to music around here.  No matter what happens, you're a star!

Thanks everybody for your kind comments and words of solid advice.

Particularly you Danny for your business info, I look forward to hearing some of you stuff in the near future. Please post a link here when you do.

Right, Im off for another turkey and then hittin the hay.

Happy New Year All.

Great song, great mix (except the snare needs some more room for itself), and fun all around.

Not sure how I could have improved this!

Awesome tune and performances. I really enjoyed.

 I certainly think you have the talent to succeed in whatever genre you want to perform in, but I think the world has changed too much for future stars to rely on the past for clues on how to become successful. I think the biggest problem now for anyone looking to make a living on original music is the fact that the digital age and free internet music has created a situation that the customers who use to buy the most, the youth, are now getting most of their music for free or paying iTunes for it once it goes "viral" 
 I wish I could say something to give you confidence but I fear the reality may be we see a continued decline in the old make a CD and sell it way of doing things.
 If I were young and still had such ambitions, I think I would hire an ad agency to pimp out my best stuff on facebook and twitter and or try to get on one of those reality shows.

Thanks Jim, there are a lot of instruments in that snare region for sure, I think I should start looking into some ducking at some point. Hope things are clearing up for you back home.

ohgrant, you surely are correct with the ever changing industry, but lets face it to go that route (Reality shows) you will never get to express your own vision or creativity (few do anyway) as you are basically a business product. I think doing live shows and offering something a little different maybe the other route, again, who am I to say.

Sounds great Cian. You did a great job with the envelopes like we discussed. Yet, kept the urgency.
All in all. It's DONE. And done really well.

Top notch work Cian.

You have great compositional skills as well as great arrangement and production skills.

You've also got a great voice.

I'm jealous. :-)

Excellent work all-round.

BTW, the writing on this is stellar..

Tim, big thanks for you early advice on this. Its only when I enveloped those breaths did I realise how much they actually stood out! You know Im a big fan of your stuff.

Blipp, thanks for stopping by. I have a few skillz, but Im jealous that you have a completed polished album for sale, that is achieving a lot man. Wish you all the best.

Cian
