The melody is so strong and it has that all-important feel of familiarity that makes it sit so very comfortably on the ears. This is such a hard thing to accomplish and here you are making it seem so, so easy. The lyrics in your first verse blew me away. You set the scene incredibly well and brought it to life vividly. The below lyrics grabbed my attention and pulled me into the song. I was hooked after that! Quote: Sometimes in life It’s a fact The whole world turns its back on you It happens to all of us Once in a while It’s just a test that we go through Then, when the chorus came along, the meaning of everything you'd sung so far glistened with crystal clarity. Outstanding. Also, that chorus you've created resonates with strength and might and I found the words became very visual. This was such a good listen! In a single word.... All the best, Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2025 audios on Soundcloud

It's perfectly catchy, and I found it to sound really sincere and heartfelt. There's some really, really nice lyrics in this too. By the way - the mixing job on this is on point too! Fantastic job here David, thanks for sharing Cheers, Deryk

The melody makes you think it's something like we had heard before - but really we hadn't. That, my good friend, takes an uncanny talent. it had to first be conceived and then facilitated with equal precision. Simply wonderful David. Spiritual without ever going there directly. This song should go all the way to the top of hill. I am impressed beyond my ability to further define. And Di and I completely agree with the message. I was going to tell you all the various things you did in the creation and delivery of this marvelous song. But as i thought what to say, it came to me that I'd already said everything was really important. I'll simply say everything about this sings inception and conception equals the magic of the final product. Di and i are blown away. We both tip our hat to youy. Excellent. Wow!

Your vocals are perfect for this song. Has that Dylan/Tom Petty feel, with a heart-piercing delivery of the truth. All on top of a simple, fitting arrangement. Did I mention, I like this one?

Your vocals are perfect for this type of song, I think. It suits the kind of raw emotions just lurking under the surface. Well done, and another great song! Cheers, Ember

The vocal has a mannered/shouty early Dylan delivery which makes sense but seemed a little aggressive. Top stuff. Cheers rayc "What's so funny about peace, love & understanding?" - N.Lowe
