Grand and sweeping… One of my all time favorites on this site. “When I feel you take hold of my hand” feels like we’re all flying together. So good!!

Please get better soon :)))

He he, I do love your modesty. I empathize with being sidelined from work due to illness I was quarantined in my 20’s with chicken pox, kind of bizarrely amusing.

This track is lovely and cinematic as you say. The tech issues you mentioned were not noticeable to me, but I don’t have the gear to fix them so what do I know?

Very theatrical and emotive, as you say. Shannon’s vox are rather pure and it takes a bit of musical angst to bring their emotion front and center. You have done that here but not in an “in your face” sort of way, but rather more gentle and cinematic. Beautiful job (argh…) as always ;-), sigh…..

Hope to see you mix a few more of Shannon’s songs - like to see you on the record ;-).

Good job mate, loved it all. John

Yep, this is soundtrack material; true love’s found and the good guys win. I guess it was a good thing for Seal your brutally honest friend wasn’t around to convince him “Kiss From A Rose” was “over the top”…
;-)

Wail, as usual you have done an absolutely beautiful ol track, ol pal. And especially seein as how you was sick and shut-in an all. Hope ya get better soon. Them strings is just gorgeous. Ya bastard:-)

the first time i listened to this, i had not read your description. i kind of had a “whoa” moment when i heard the pitch shifted vocals, mostly since I had just spent hours listening to her vocals on that particular song. i did hear a little artifacting but it wasn’t enough to undermine the effort, and this is a really good effort. serious props for having the cajones to take this in a whole different direction the way you have.

I guess Nights in White Satin was over the over the top, too ;-)

No reason to be modest about it….it’s beautifull !!!!

Nice track. My cats lying around the laptop and they seemed realy relaxed. Normaly they hide under the bed or behind the refrigerator when I play my music. :)

I want just say: Wow!

Cool Song. I love the way you are making music.

Thanks alot for this.

Best wishes.

I love this track. Nuf said.

Really beautiful, so nicely played and arranged. I would like to hear more of these “over the top” tunes!;-)

just an amazing production and beautiful arrangment—-soundtrack material indeed.

This is (really nice)….. people don’t do (really nice) music anymore. I feel you on the Movie thing, I hear where you’re coming from. Nice work!!

Are those strings from Melodyne? I’ve been looking for some good string sounds for forever but have not really found some that sound as good as the ones your using.

Please let me know?….

Peace! ;)-

What’s wrong with over the top?
This is Beautiful. I can hear this in a movie sound track.

It makes a lot of heat, the brain tells me I´m tired. I hear your mix and heat and boredom to be secondary. I want to hear this song again and again. Of course, the work is perfect and musically have a 10. Thanks

i was thinking of remixing this cut…i put the accapella on and no offence to Shannon, but it drove me NUTS!!! it’s just not my thing.
i had a quick go and then shelved it.
BUT…i thought i’d have a quick listen to other peoples approach…Lasswell, the way you have placed the accapella TRANSFORMS it from the original. i am going to go back into mine at some point soon and try BITING YO STEEZ!!!

thanks for the inspiration.
i needed it.

peace

really big tune! great buildup and hughs! you are the man!

I’ve been listening to this tune everytime I stop by here on CC, so I thought it’s about time I drop you a few words to tell you how much I enjoy it. Fantastisc music, arrangements and mix. Thanks for sharing!

I’ve been listening to this for several days and I love it. Really sets a mood. The music just soars and sweeps around the vocals. And wow, what you did with the vocals! A lotta work there, and beautifully done throughout, on all parts. Love those strings.
