The first time I listen to him singing I knew I had to do something with it. Thank you for listening and remarking.

I would like to add that you understood the theme, childhood and crimes… I wrote this song about war and childhood (where i come from…)… you took it to the streets and to urban violence… again you did a very beautiful interpretation with this mix!

I am so glad you like it. When you collaborate with someone in this way it’s taking a chance, isn’t it?

Thank you for agreeing with my minimal treatment. I thought of adding more noise and rhythmic effects or something, but I wanted to give it a feel of being a part of what was all around them — drumsticks on empty, overturned buckets and voices only — like we would make music if that were all we had.

he’s really got something special, doesn’t he?

Gracias, Señor Moon. I felt the song needed to be supported by its own rhythms and harmonies. I remind myself that I trained myself how to find harmonies not already supplied by conjuring parts for a 5th Beatle.

Thank you, ma’am. His trills are so effortless and heart-felt. Not calculated like so many r’n’b singers in the American Idol, overwrought style. But it also made it hard to harmonize with all but those last, held notes.
