5th Dec 2013 - Update: New remix 20131124_03 by Steffen posted!
After the hard rock and rock ballad versions, here is the acoustic unplugged version, the last one in the trilogy.
Many thanks to Henry who played a major part in getting this together with various contributions. Thunder provided tasteful percussion, while SmithC delivered a great vocal.
Then Henry and Steffen came up with excellent mixes, both of which are posted here.

I've not heard the other versions yet, Andy, but really like this one. :) Good production, good lyric, heartfelt vocals, and compelling music, appropriate to the mood. Some lovely poignant touches. (And you know I'm a sucker for 'poignant'. ;) )
Excellent job all round, lads. :)

Hi Donna,
Thanks so much dropping in with a lovely comment.
How have you been? I haven't seen you here much lately.

Thanks for posting, Andy - although I thought we were not done with the song yet.
My (progress) mix does not sound good at all - I need the unprocessed seps for a better sound. Henry's mix is perfect for the song! Mine was never meant to be a final mix anyway.
Henry, could you send me the raw seps one day (no hurry though)?
Regards,
Steffen

Hi Steffen,
Not to worry, we can always replace your mix with a later one once you have got all the seps you need :).
Andy

Sounds good.
-
what a cool tune guys :)
-
Thanks Todd, your percussion on this song is exquisite :).

I´ll do that asap, Steffen!
Look, here:

I also uploaded the leadand buvox from smithc
You seem to have different vocal seps as well... there are some intonation issues... major issues... :o
-
nicely done!
-
What a nice song guys, sounds really great! The singer sounds to me like my old mate Henry the doc :-) but I read he was "only" the man behind it all.

Thanks for posting the update, Andy! Would you mind deleting the old mix that I did with the broken seps?
Regards,
Steffen

Another good song Andy.. I like the vocalist on this
Some nice persussive stuff going on from Todd in there too.
I'm not sure which mix is which, I didn't mind any of them - the middle one sounded a bit underproduced and the 1st and 3rd sounded a bit more nasal but they were all quite listenable.

Thanks so much Mark.
Todd's parts are tasty, he played some great percussion on the track "The Next Moment In Time" as well!

Haven't been around much in a while, but stopped in to have a listen to few tunes and this one was really a cool listen. It reminds me of something back in the day, but without being exactly like something I can put my finger on. Going to listen again. That's always the biggest compliment I can give! 8)
