I reckon you’ve earnt your pride and your smiles with this one.
You’ve actualy blown me away.
Composition and performance had that ‘world-famous song performed by the world-famous artist who composed it’ kind of feel.
If I worked in this style of music, I’d be caught between genuine and gentlemanly acknowledgement, and sick-as-a-parrot small minded jealousy and resentment.
I don’t like songs which are as heavily compressed and limited like this one, sorry (my ears don’t like these). But I would love to hear a more dynamic version of this song with great nuances because I think this one deserves it.
It’s a fine recording and a good vocal. My problem with it is that it sounds like dozens of other formulaic Pop-Rock hits we’ve been hearing for quite some time now. If that’s your ambition, I can respect that; you’re on your way.
