ohgrant - thanks for the listen and feedback - I think you may be right with the synth lows - I was playing with the fabfilter saturn plug in on this yesterday and I did notice a difference when I pulled some of them out a little.
Tim - thanks for the ears and kind words - she was my aunt. I didn't put any details in the original post because I wanted the feedback to be about the song and the lyric pretty much says it all anyway.
Janet - thanks for tuning in. You're so right about music - I always find these sort of songs almost write themselves and are very theraputic.
Warren - I'm glad it struck you that way - at the time of writing, I didn't really have any idea where it was going, but I had a vague notion of uplifting meloncholy if that makes sense (or is even possible) I'll have to checkout "Twilight Rain" again - I know the song you mean and I remember liking it when he posted it a while ago.
