Hi Tom,

Another beauty....Like the voice use in this one very much...

Very creative...LOVE it...gentle and mild with a real effect of honesty....

The soft support material is really good for this...surprisingly rich and solid for the piano...yet with a truly ethereal overall sound..Part is an effect in the piano isn't it? Very suited to this song...and the ending is as well! Just beautiful as it dies away........

Another Great One...Thanks Tom...good you will have a little time stateside for a change...Stay in Touch!!!!!!

Hi Tom,

I like your piano sound - lots of deep reverb with slow decay. Good mix - your vocals are clear.

The way you tell stories with so much emotion is intense. Yes - some days one does wake up riding in clouds :-)

Nice ending :-)

Cheers,

Well, this was worth the wait, I'll say. I'm on my second listen to understand the words better. I wish you had posted the lyrics as Jonsolo started doing then I started doing it. It helps us enjoy the work that is put into these poetic musical journeys. I do love what I hear in this one. Your signature soft playing and excellent understated vocal. This one seems smoother and more confident than ever. Really beautiful. I enjoyed the second time even more. So glad you posted this.

I agree. This is a step up Unimon! Good work all the way around.

Could someone double check me on the vocal though: it seems a bit out of phase. I converted it to mono to make sure and yep...the vocal level almost dropped out. It may be the effect used.

Even if it is out of phase, the vocal part is great...strong performance Unimon!

I love it!!!
My english is not that good, enough to understand lyrics, but there is so much passion, I feel great feelings listening to the tune.

Very well done,

Lovely piano work, and the underlying pad sound adds a nice dark edge.
I'm not sure how to check the vocal phase, but the vocals do sound very clear, as does the overall production.
Another great sounding track Tom.

Hi Tom

Very beautiful indeed. I love the way the piano sometimes 'shadows' the voice and other times just does it's own thing gently and dreamily.

Hope you have a good break from your travels,

Regards from
Dee

What do youm mean 'outta phase' and how do you convert to mono and get it to drop out?

Inquiring minds wanna know.
