Lynn Wilson Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Wow, this is a very poignant song that I can relate to. It's all good to my ears, and I'm particularly impressed with the background vocals and lyrics. Keep em rollin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennywtelejazz Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Wow your song is a hidden gem that conveys a very deep and powerful message . It stands out very much like an Oasis for those of us that thirst for music that has and can help make a difference. I have often thought about much of your songs subject matter and I have the therapy bills to prove it ...lol.. I am very impressed with how you were able to put it all together as a song and capture your message and feelings all in one place . It just goes to prove songwriting is a true art form that can bridge and help bring a moments joy to a fractured world that needs healing . all the best , Kenny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a great believer in the power of words but as you say it's hard to get the emotion of a rhyme within a song that conveys the whole meaning of what your trying to convey. Thankyou for understanding and taking the time to post .. for me, it makes it all worthwhile ? Best regards Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vilovilo Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Hi, this song is written in somewhat a pure tradition of a certain kind of songwriting , but as I have no knowledge I can't tell you which one it is? It certainly reminds me some of Leonard Cohen's writing ( the deep lyric writing and the kind of " ostinato" played with the guitar) I like the way you place the lyrics in term of rythm . So in short: Bravo!!!!! Cheers mate. Olivier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegaltieribrothers Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Hi Steve, Fantastic song with a beautiful feel and wonderful lyrics. Great performance as well. Thanks for sharing. Good Job! regards paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grem Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 That was really nice Steve. I really liked what you did to the vocal around 1:30. Made it sound so big. Great work there. The simple sounding guitar was really nice. Synth work was just what was needed. Never overpowering but right there to support the song. The mix/mastering was excellent. Everything seemed well balanced. Really good work. This is ready for the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Kirby Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Oh man those lyrics were depressing - but they were well crafted as well. It's a good song. My only crit is that the drums should be turned up a bit more - just my opinion. I liked those pipes on the M8. Nicely done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
