This is a fun song. The mix sounds great to me and you given a stellar performance. I too went and got Studio One but I am back using CbB and loving it. Well done on the song.

One of my favourite Beatles song. Excellent job. Good vocals and I love the sound of that guitar panned hard right.

Absoflippinlutely brilliant. The lyrics are creative, clever, and humourous. The music is well done and sets up an emotional stage for the lyrics. The video is perfect! Comedic satire is a great way to introduce thought in a clever way. My grandma (in her tactful way) used to say that tact is the art of giving others your way. Sometimes tact must be abandoned to make a point. The point is well made in this piece. The pandemic is a threat to human life and the economic situation will not improve until this threat is removed. We most definitely are all in this together. "Ignorance is unfortunate --- Willful ignorance is unforgivable"

What an absolute treat to watch!!! The video was the coolest, the music absolutely complemented the video and the humour was appreciated. How in the world did you manage to obtain such a diversity of images? Your piano playing was excellent and the other associated sounds were perfect. Even my abject fear of dentist would not stop me from watching this. I love that chord pattern by the guitar near the end --- so, please don't turn down the guitar. Excellent stuff pal!!

Well, If they played music like this at a bus stop then I wouldn't mind waiting! For a simple song it has some complexity and variety to it. It is an interesting piece and has your signature on it. I agree with Lynn (above). I'm a sucker for reverb and I liked your use of it in this number. Oh ya, very cool bass sounds on this. Nice one!!!

Wookiee speaks (!) ---- or ----- sings and doggone good it is. Let's have some more of that. This also strikes me as a Pink Floyd sounding song. Psychedelic, a bit dark, and yes , experimental. I think that this song really demonstrates your ability to reach into new areas and come up with some great music. Nice one!!!!

A wee touch of the Stax Studio on steroids. Great sounding stuff and incredible playing, arranging, etc.!!!

Absoflippinlutely fantastic. Great work y'all!

Thank you Douglas! I must admit that I have a great deal of respect for these everyday heroes. I have a few friends that are doctors, nurses, healthcare workers, paramedics, etc., etc. I don't know how they manage their work and their lives during a calamity such as the current pandemic. Hi tom. Thanks for the kind words pal! Some of my YouTube stuff is --- shall we say --- primitive but I have fun doing it. Hey Makke. Thank you very much for the kind words. I really appreciate the determination and bravery of these folks and I just had to do something to express that appreciation. God bless the essential workers indeed! Thanks very much for listening and thanks for the encouragement Paul! Thanks very much Tom. I certainly agree with you concerning a pay boost. Maybe a hazardous duty pay increase?

Very good piece indeed! It has a very big, rich sound to it. It is probably the equipment on my side but I noticed a bit of stuttering through out the piece. Well done!

Love that Bass. Excellent creation indeed.

Beautiful song and well performed. Your vocals are excellent!

I love parodies. Politicians and presidents certainly have been subjects of parodies for as long as I can remember. The first one I can remember as a wee bit of a kid was the teasing about Camelot and President Kennedy. I guess, if you are going to be a public personality, a thick skin should be a requirement. However, I must add that hateful rhetoric and intentional misdirection must be avoided. BTW (for what it's worth) I have 3 primary standards for judging those for whom I vote: 1) Character, 2) Policies, and 3) previous actions.

Hi Bats. I tried the link a couple of times but got the error message that the track was not found. What a disappointment. I always enjoy and am impressed by your work. Guess I will just have to try again later.

Hi Lynn. Thank you very much! It really was my intent in this song to put out my own thank you to all those (e.g., doctors, PA's, nurses, other healthcare workers, essential store workers, various volunteer effort, police, firefighters, public servants etc., etc.) that are on the front line. Oh ya --- and those that are staying at home trying not to spread this disease. I'm not on Facebook but my wife put it on her Facebook site and she has gotten some very nice comments in support of the front line workers. When this is all over, I hope that we don't forget these people who worked so hard to keep us safe and as comfortable as possible. Hi Bjorn. Thanks very much. My wife (see above) has received some very nice comments in support of the front line workers from people that have seen the video. Hi Max. Thank you for listening and commenting. Yes indeed --- "God bless the heroes...".

This is a beautiful song Bjorn. For me - it took me into a very introspective place. You indeed have a talent for composing in a variety of styles.

Beautiful song, great lyrics and performance. Well done!

Indeed, welcome to the Forum. Great start to this song. I look forward to hearing your completed song.

This sounds great tom. I hope that you are going to forward this on to the Biden Campaign. Sorry I was late in submitting but I am glad that it wasn't used. It would not have fit in with what is a great final product.

This is just not fair! How can you be so consistently good. Excellent work Bats!!!

Excellent playing and I agree that this song has that early 1960's style of sound. That must be why I enjoyed it so much. I may have mentioned this on one of your other posts but this style reminds me of The Shadows (an excellent group). I always enjoyed their instrumentals. Well done!

Billionaire --- must be the price of inflation? You indeed do have a unique sound. It reminds me a wee bit of some of the New Wave pop songs of the early 1980s. Maybe that's why I enjoyed it so much. Well done!

You must have made some of the changes suggested because the mix sounds doggone good to me. The vocals sounded clear to me and the lyrics were great. I particularly liked the Fx on the guitars panned hard L &R. Excellent work!!

I will always make time to listen to one of your songs Paul. Ya, this song definitely has a retro feel to it. I really enjoyed this song. I liked the message of the lyrics, and it sounds good to me. Well done!

This is a beautiful piece Bjorn. I too love that flute!
