    Patrick, I reckon his is a delicate good night song to a little one. As such, the bass guitar suggest something different than a comforting voice. That’s a “voice” for a monsters under the bed song. I could hear gentle finger picking leading to the soothing vocal carrying most of the song. The chorus build might could be from another acoustic stringed instrument delicately echoing a figure you’re already playing. This is a sweet sentiment of a song that me thinks should be treated gently. I’m glad we get to see its inception and look forward to see it grow. -PT zzzzzzz

      Thanks. That’s a good point about the bass, could turn it down or change its sound.

    Love hearing this progress, Patrick! I really dig the round/deep warmth of the bass. And your vocal sounds great – nice work! I think the strummed acoustic in the chorus is nice. It could become a supplemental texture while a different instrument is featured for the choruses like a keyboard as u mentioned – that could be cool. If you kept the strumming in there, supporting the keyboard, it might a) keep from feeling like “what happened to the guitar?” and b) provide that nice ‘shaker’-sounding percussive energy a strummed acoustic can offer.

    Such a sweet song and performance! Really gives me Pete Yorn / Chris Martin vibes 🙌
