WOW!!! WOW!!!! WOW!!!!! This is a HIT!!!!! And not only a hit, because that does not necessarily mean good. This is the rare song that could appeal to anyone and everyone, AND at the same time BLOWS AWAY true song lovers. You have reached that rare intersection of pop and great, like Henley's End of the Innocence, and Heart of the Matter, or Sting's Fields of Gold. That land that is almost untouched. AMAZING!!!! You are one of my heroes!! Take care. Greg Thank you Greg, you're mentioning some songs that are very close to my heart, I always appreciate and greatly respect what you have to say. waiting for your next one

Way to go. This is truly a great song and performance. You made all the right choices in your arrangement. Vocals and BGV's are so good. Enjoyed this from start to finish.
I agree with others hearing a Henley vibe in this song. This song has that WoW factor that only comes when everything falls into place as it should...

Bravo, Kenny! Immediately, the first thing I noticed here is the mixing job. It's a fantastically catchy tune, and your vocal performance is incredible - but with that mixing job, this honestly sounds like it could be on the radio. I wouldn't bat an eyelash hearing it among the top pop songs right now. It sounds extremely crisp and polished. Great work, and thanks for sharing this with us
Cheers, Deryk

Wow, this song is crazy good. I'm kind of blown away right now. This sounds like it could be on the radio right now. It has such lovely flow to it as well, and the lyrics are just superb.
What a fantastic job. Can't wait to hear the next one. I don't even mind that there's no Side B this time! You're right, this song should not be distracted from and really shines on its own anyways. Thanks Ember, I always appreciate your listen and kind words

Kenny this song is like a snowflake. Simply beautiful, and beautifully simple. I'm not saying it could be on the radio. I'm saying it SHOULD be on the radio. Don Henley would be proud of this. And so should you :-)
BRAVO!!!

Well fj's review was pretty much the equivalent of setting the piano on fire and walking off the stage. There is really nothing much left to say other than we agree with every accolade this production has received. We've listened to it on three different sound systems and it just seems to get better and better. It's stunningly beautiful. Heartfelt writing and lovingly sung. J&B Edit: Janice commented that it reminds her of Tom Petty’s “Echo” album.

Awesome. I love this too. Great hook, and great songwriting.
Wonderful production.
The Don Henley reference was very appropriate. I would put it in the same ballpark and that is high praise. Great work Kenny.
Thanks David, I always appreciate your listen and very kind words

Kenny
You've really delivered here. What a brilliant ballad.
No need for a B side, that's for sure.
Clear mix, great vocals, brilliant lyrics.
This is excellent from start to finish.
Thank you for those kind words VT

Hello, Kenny
Very nice piano intro. The melody beginning with "That I always love you is wonderful" is splendid. Very catchy! Your vocal is very pleasant as usual. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Hey Shigeki, Thank you for your kind words

Hi Kenny,
Without a question - the best song I've heard from you. The writing and delivery are perfect in every way. A wonderful lyric and your vocal shines. The backing tracks are just enough without being too much - nothing distracting. Everything has a place and you filled those spaces as good as it can be done.
As a few other folks said: "WOW!"
Wishing you success with this. You and the song are powerful forces to the music scene.
Alan Hey Alan, much appreciated
