I don't know anything at orchestration but I know I like a flute solo sometimes.

This is a beautiful and thoughtful piece. It really moved me - a little tear in fact. Reminds me so much of your earlier, brilliant, Intellectual Blues number.
Patronising and unsolicited comments on production ideas follow after I've heard it another 25 times.
You are going to be a great singer songwriter because you possess that one essential ingredient - passion.

Hey Carly, great song.......again! I really do like your stuff. With you being such an accomplished piano player, piano should (and I'm sure will) feature heavily when you record it. I can also hear a double bass, harmonica and bizarrely a tuba! With your slightly quirky style and great lyrics and sometimes uneven bar lengths I think maybe using instruments that you don't at first think of would fit nicely? Brushes and a steel guitar may also work well.
I'm sure you'll figure it out anyway, you'll be playing it one day and hear all sorts of other lines going on. I look forward to hearing the finished article!! Keep up the good work, Mark x (I thought you said you were coming to Reading one day?!)

About instrumentation, your piano playing is perfect and the metallic sound of the piano very enjoyable.

You seem much more well performing when you are by yourself. An accompanying musician always brings lots of problems to an author composer singer, which may account for your faces in La bellevilloise... :-))

The song is really great, how could you doubt it?

The "cried out from my lungs" verse lacks one foot and, when singing, you added "tah" at the end. So, you might add up "both":

"cried out from my both lungs"

Thanks a lot; at last I understand the song. Indeed, for a foreigner, and even for English friends I asked to write down the song for me, many words were incomprehensible. Technically, an engineer friend told me that there's a difference of intensity between the right and left tracks, and about 20 shorts "cuts" all along.
