Thanks Emily!
I’d love to have the vox with no distortion. Probably there is the way to fix it somehow, I just don’t know how…
I’m very glad that you liked it in it’s simplicity. Thank you!

I’d love to have the vox with no distortion.
The only thing that I know works for me is the Melodyne. Do you have that program Alex? You can get the free edition at celemony.com. The free one only works for a 10 sec clip max. Bring the vocal in and lower each blob and it brings the level down and works very nicely!

A bit of a departure for you, Alex. I like it very much. It’s quite pretty, while the subject matter leans towards sadness. Excellent mix!

Nice chord changeup. Like the tabla percussion!

My first remix (which I threw out) was acoustic based like this. Yours is much better than mine would have ended up being, so I’m glad I tossed it.

Alex, this one is stunning. Minimalistic in approach and full in its impact. Brilliant.

Great track Alex.
I love it when you go all stripped down acoustic.
It really seems to bring out your pop sensibilities ( which btw are present in all your songs even those with a hard hitting electro hip hop flavour. )
Many thumbs mate

What should I add after all the others - I agree with anything! For my ears you are better at this kind of music than the hip hop’s you did before. But that’s probably just because I’m not a hip hop fan. So please go one with this :-)

Congrats on the Ed pick! I meant to write a review for this 3 times but became distracted each time lol. So many great versions of this around and this is another. I love the simple wide open feel too it. I would love to try this but I am sure I will clutter it up lol A+

I just listened to Snowflake’s original upload. You did a great jod of reimagining this and retaining the emotional energy.
