Steve,

Thanks for stopping in and taking the time to comment. Much appreciated. Hmm, going up on that final "on" . . . I'm not sure I thought about, but I totally get what you suggest. I'd have to think about how that would resolve and mesh with the BGVs on the fade out. But food for thought definitely.

As for the arrangement, I'm not sure I can say I put a lot of thought into it . . . it happened a bit more organically, as I was mixing, so can't take credit for any grand design. What aided me most on this song was the addition of some "live" tracks from a colleague. For example, he plays the bass and a lot of the edgier guitars in the chorus, and also added some MIDI strings. Along with drums, BIAB bass never seems to stand out in my songs. Ray has played bass on three of my more recent songs, and the bass has popped in every one of them.

Anyway, I digress. But glad you liked the tune.
