Good song, good vocal, and good mix!  You've come a long way, John.  This deserves a large audience.

Sounds like a song that comes from a very real and heartfelt place. Art is just the conversation we have with ourselves until we meet someone who's been there before too; thanks for sharing yours. Keep it up brother.

I Liked It.  Very good job on the keys and vocals. Loved the melody of the choruses. That was also a very creative ending ..  mark

[Douglas Kirby]

This had an early 80s pop/light rock vibe to me - I liked it - especially they lyrics - well crafted. The mix sounds like you know what you're doing - nicely done.

[freddy j]

Great sounding mix  John!  This is a lovely song with some very heart felt lyrics carried along by a great melody!  Oh ya -- "very creative ending" indeed.

[PhonoBrainer]

you are getting some very good mix ears, John. The bass and drums are perfect, the piano too. Maybe the strings jump out a bit forward in spots, but no harm really. 

the mix was bright yet full in the bottom - very cool!

cheers,

John . . . you're cookin' with gas with this one (as they say in Canada) . . . a really great production. Mixing and lyrics are extremely clear, and may I say just a great song !

I love your lyrics John. Inner rhyming and pacing of the words is so poetic. I can almost hear it as a hip hop song too (sorry). Beautiful song my friend.

[Wookiee]

Pleasant enough little ditty that sounds like a good balanced mix here on my event 20/20's

[Johnbee58]

@bjornpdx Thanks!  See!  Some of my stuff does rhyme. ?

@Old Joad Glad to hear from you.  Thanks!

@Wookiee Thanks so much, Mr. Furrypaws for your feedback and being an extra set of "ears".  Sometimes I do wonder what my stuff sounds like on other people's setups.

Stay safe and healthy, all!

Well done John!

Singer/Songwriter introspection, one of your best I think.

As always, I'm impressed with how you gave Trilian such a good workout, and EZKeyes as well on this one!

Two ?'s up, and a

"back field in motion" on that little drum ditty at the 4 minute mark!

Oh and the comment

Self deprecation is fine, we all do it, but I don't think it worked on this one, this is a good tune!

All the best...

Thanks so much, Tom.  I appreciate the comment.
