This is brilliant (reminds me of one of my favourite modern folk bands - Show of Hands).  Beautiful voice and near perfect arrangement (I'd fatten up the solo part at after 3 minutes but that's it).

Thank you so much!

Hauntingly beautiful.  This is a Very Nice production !

As a cello player , and after hearing this , I just learned the impact of slightly "swelling" the notes and subduing some of the highs normally present in my tracks. I thought I got done mixing a new song using a cello this morning. Now I'm going back in ..

 Enjoyed it ..   mark

Thanks Mark!

Really liked this a lot everything sounds great to my old ears. Did you add the bass after that person commented about it I most certainly hear an acoustic bass

 

 

Yes, indeed there is an acoustic bass!

This is a very pleasant, but poignant tune.  As you said, more relevant than ever.  Well done, Pete!

Thanks Lynn, much appreciated!!

Hey can you tell me what you used for the cello and strings? I recently used a cello in a mix, it was OK but yours is way better. Thx.

Hi, the strings are from Sonuscore's "The Orchestra Complete" and the Cello is the background celtic waltz cello from Band in a Box !

Hi

I really like this track - excellent guitars but the vocal is the star - she has a great voice

Mix I think is excellent

Cool
