Loved those lyrics Lee. The song is great. Small crit: the drums (or at least the snare) seems about a db too loud. It's just a little distracting.

The piano  tone is great.

Thanks Ed, I appreciate the feedback.  Actually I thought the drums were a tad too soft, but I guess it comes down to personal preference.  I always like a strong beat, and I tend to overdo it on the drums sometimes  (levels, fills, etc)  And I also like a good solid bass part that syncs well with the beat (with lots of bottom end, without distorting)
But as I said I appreciate any feedback, positive or otherwise.  I always learn a lot from this group.  So thanks again!

Great song. Very well done. The mix is very clear but yeah, the guitar solo needs to come up!

Thanks, I appreciate it.  And yes, music (whether writing or listening) can be very uplifting and fulfilling.

Oh the youth of today?

Sounds fine here Lee.

PS you were 59 years and 364 days before your 60th it is just a number, ignore it. Growing old is obligatory, growing up is optional.
