Cool   2nd crack at fingerpicking: Your Song

Well, it's actually Elton John and Bernie Taupin's song, but here's my clangy, twangy rendition at part of it.
Feedback is enthusiastically encouraged, negative, positive, neutral, doesn't matter!

Specific questions: My right hand and fingers are so busy actively rolling up and down trying to maintain volume and hit strings that I'm not finding it easy to pause to let the songs "breathe" a bit. Any tips?

My copy of Plane Talk is still winding its way from Australia, so I'm still not at all sure about how to add melody tracks and leave the safety of the chords. Any simple tips about how to venture off without losing the basic sound is welcome.
