Got me with the first chords..they said “attention!”…not sure if you intended that, but I think it’s a very strong song-architecture element—get the listeners attention immediately. I liked the track overall. Not sure if it was all BIAB or some live, but easy to listen to, and I enjoyed it!

Vic,
Nice one! Reminds me of a Warren Zevon type tune for some reason. Production/mix all sound good to my ears. Great, catchy hook. Very well done!
All my best,
Deej

Vic, a great coming of age song.
Great vocal and lyrics.
Super backing tracks.
I really enjoyed this flashback song.

Excellent song musically and lyrically, Vic. I think we all go through that in our early teens. I recall when I was around 14 my 2 best friends fantasising what it would be like to not only date specific girls they had crushes on, but also to marry and live with them and then have kids! It was a bit too far for me. I was content just fantasising about dating the 'fab chick' I had a crush on. 
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Thanks Tano Music.
The first chords were inspired by listening to a song by "The Who".
They knew how to grab attention.
All tracks were BIAB.
Vic.

Hi Deej.
I'm not sure why you thought Warren Zevon either although I appreciate your thought.
My thoughts were Springsteen and The Who when I wrote it,
Thank you

The User Showcase is still the fun place to be here in the forum. It's a good feeling hearing how many others enjoy BIAB and showcase their talents. This is the first song on the Showcase I've listened to in a while and it's just what I mean. A fun song, well-written, arranged, performed and produced. Enjoyed my listen.

Cool song, Vic. Very catchy and anthemic. Love the vocal FX chain on this one, that's a keeper. Well done!

Vic,
I really like the feel of this vibe! Not sure I'm correct but I think the term is 'syncopated'. This is a classic song structure - which I love as it makes more sense to my brain. Great guitar solo choice and production all around.

Hi Dewey. I never thought about "syncopation" in musical terms before but now you mention it ......  As I understand it, the term is applied to beats being stressed where they wouldn't normally be stressed. Reggae seems a good example in that the off beat is stressed. I could be wrong though. Thanks for jumping in. Vic

Wow, a 13-14 year boy thinking about getting a girl to go on walks. You're holding bac, Vic. But, man, you turned this is to a wonderful song. Brilliant idea, him thinking of her and her of him without knowing each other --yet. Just wondering where your walks took you. I'm sure you both found each other.

Yeah, 13-14 was a cool and (most of the time) innocent time.
Glad we all have those memories, and you made a really nice song out of it.
Enjoyed my listen!
