Thanks for sharing It's a very sweet song and I really like the chorus. It sounds like the tempo wanders around a bit though. What an adorable picture. It hit me harder than I would have expected when I read that you had lost her. |

Lovely song Lovely guitar sound, and the harmonies are beautiful. Whatever changes you might make to this song in the future, you should always keep a copy of this version. It sounds so heartfelt and true. Aside from the song, I think it's brilliant that you are able to talk about Kerry and share your personal tributes to her with the rest of us. I don't think many people could hear this song and not be touched by it. |

Hard to listen to but nicely done Thank you for sharing your loss as you share your talent..I'm certainly moved. Nice song....good harmonies and instrumental balance. |

Production ideas These are only ideas so I hope they can contribute in your overal quest. In the beginning, tighten up the strumming guitars with tempo..but maintain the live feel....do the same with vocals (I only heard a couple of small spots). Experiment with different global settings in the Master track (i.e. aumulti channel compression-ambient). One neat thing I discovered by accident is that you can click all those cool buttons while the song is playing to hear the way the program changes it. Nice work Adam, very nice. |

A sweet, beautiful song... ..and I don't know how on earth to critique it! Such a tribute stands on its own, and the honesty of it is what makes it what it is--beautiful. Now, putting on my 'critical-listening' hat, I'll offer my opinion, since you wanted suggestions. First off, I love the harmonies (but then, look who is saying that, lol). The only thing I might try is to set the main voice a little 'in front' over them, or find a way to soften their brightness a little. I, too, really like the way you've ended the song and think a lengthened "ahhh" with overlaying harmonies would be excellent. Lovely song :) |

After four trys... ...I can finally comment. I wanted to leave a comment on this for awhile, but I couldn't get through the song. I have a soft spot for kids to begin with, and I almost lost a daughter when she was 1. She lost a kidney in the ordeal, but 14 years later she's doing great. OK, the tempo on the guitar has been mentioned, I second (or third) Peter's suggestion on a simple drum loop. I've actually made a midi loop with 3 beats of clicks and a bell on the forth beat to help cue chord changes. I like the vocals a lot. Nicely done and all in key. I would consider adding more reverb to the backing vocals to put more behind the lead. This last one is a matter of individual taste, I suppose, but I think intimacy of the song needs a cleaner, "honest" sound from the guitar. From the looks of it you have some good equipment and should be able to get a real good clean recording with the mic 6-8 inches from the guitar. At least listen to it with minimal effects (reverb and a touch of echo) to see if you like it. Take care and good luck! JG |

Inspiration! I can see you had so much inspiration to do the piece and it is great as it is. The flaws keep it human. I don't review alot of vocal pieces - not being a good judge of voices (I like Dylan and Neil Young...not technical vocal masters!), but this flows very well. |

Very nice. I'm not always good with words, so let's just say this was a very good and very touching tune. |

Honest and pure It's a wonderful song and a fantastic tribute. Your story touched me deeply, and the song really brought it home. Great vocals, heartfelt lyrics, lovely harmonies. I'll the others give tips and pointers. All I can do is wish you the best and tell you that you have a marvelous song here. |

aw, man! Why did you have to do this to me? Here, you go and leave a comment on my tune, so I had to check you out. Naturally, I check out the higher rated song... All I can say is that I got three kids myself and I almost started crying... Apart from that, I loved the rich guitar and layered vocals. The looseness of the song made it more human. There's no need to make this sound "perfect". I like it as is. |

My first post I only found this website yesterday. Hearing your song and the story behind it brought a tear to my eye. I don't think thats happened to me on the internet before. Great song just the way it is. God bless. All the best songs come from the heart. |
