So, originally when I wrote this song, I decided to have Kevin sing this. He sounded great in this song, as he usually does because Kevin's the best vocal synth, however, as a little experiment, I decided to have ASTERIAN sing the song instead. He also sounds great in this song too, offering a somewhat different interpretation to Kevin. ASTERIAN kinda adds somewhat of an operatic feel to it, I think, which the theatrical mode helps out quite a bit with (you can hear how that sounds in the chorus of the song), whereas Kevin's grittier, more energetic voice gives it a bit more edge.

Personally, I think I slightly prefer ASTERIAN's take on the song. I like his somewhat softer, more operatic take on the song, and I think it fits the aesthetic of this song better than Kevin's vocals do (although Kevin's still the better vocal synth overall). There's something about the Eclipsed Sounds vocal synths that just work really well for musical theatre type songs. SOLARIA's voice provider's a Broadway singer, and ASTERIAN has that theatrical mode - I should make a Synth V musical one day! But then again, the lack of natural speech options might make that a bit difficult...

With all that said, I hope you lot enjoy this! And if you've listened to the original version with Kevin, let me know which version you think is better.
