Gorgeous piano ballad, your shift into falsetto on the chorus is really impressive. You've done a good job conjuring up the Bond feel with a fairly restrained sonic palette although I wouldn't object to more orchestral bombast as well as the big dynamic piano. I'm hearing some artifacts on the vocal that slightly bugged me, I remember hearing similar on one of Max's songs a while ago and blamed an overactive de-esser but I'm not sure if that's the case or not (it may even be a deliberate choice). Minor quibble, either way. Kudos for submitting despite your immunity, and I think I can safely say this would have ranked high!
