Masterful song, Mike. So JUST RIGHT for a touching yet lively tune for the CBC Valentine's Challenge on 2/12/11. What a wonderful song to "come back" with on SoundClick...but, of course, your other outstanding music was always there for our listening pleasure - but now YOU are also with us again, too! Thank you for this extraordinary song, MD, and for the dl to our JBBQ Music Player on SC. Bob (and the JBBQ "Guys")

I've alraedy downloaded this fabulous tune for my I-pod Michael. I was so knocked out by it, I'd clean forgotten to leave you a comment. Well, I've been playing it a lot, which kinda says it all !. Perfect in everyway. Fabulous use of those female voices. Production and arrangement are top notch.

Superbly composed and arranged piece of music. Love those vocals - they become an instrument in their own right. Almost eerie in places, I love the sense of space and the ethereal feel - wonderful vibe.

Full of mesmerizing sounds and textures, this dances around like a butterfly in a summer garden - you never know where it'll go but you stay fascinated. And that synth guitar makes such fantastic sounds. Brilliant, MD!
