Hi, Roxy

You have the makings of a great track with this one. It's very easy to pick holes in what is essentially a rough demo, so I would really only echo what other posters have said - it's a very strong, soulful ballad with a great vocal by yourself (really don't see it as a duet) and a nice band arrangement that only needs to be padded out little by little as the song progresses to keep the interest factor up. A compressed drum sound with some added reverb would also make a huge difference. You know all of this already! It's always very tempting to get 'clever' with the vocal arrangement and add all sorts of harmonies and counterpoint etc., but if I was producing I was just ask you to sing the song and put your all into it - there's more than enough information in the lyrics and enough soul in your voice to pull this off.

I look forward to hearing a more polished version in the future. If something's worth doing.............

Oh, at five minutes it's a tad long - three minutes would be good (for radio).

There - I've said it!! LOL

Regards,

Scott
