Hi Ray! After listening to the WIP, then listening to it finished, there is something very captivating about it musically, and I haven’t quite put my finger on what it is yet. Even more intriguing when I read the lyrics. I feel like I’m a person in an art gallery looking at an abstract painting and saying something inept like “It speaks to me about the existential struggle against the human condition.”

Ok, wow. Superb job, Ray. The music is haunting, the video is stunning. Their message communicates. Impossible to look away, both because the art you have created keeps us there, and because of the stark message it communicates. For what it's worth, yes, it's much worse over there. But that's something else, I suppose ... ?

Regardless: congratulations. A broad canvas, masterfully painted, I feel.

Very Pink Floyd-ish - you had me with the Lap Steel and never let me go.

Ray,

You make some of the best videos...

I'm all in on the mastered version of the song. Everything about this works so well.

Loved it!

Ray and company, this is an outstanding song
Great lyrics and backing tracks that were backed by a great slideshow
It was a good thing that you printed the lyrics as I had a hard time hearing parts of your song. You have a great voice and it should be more up front IMHO.

Ray, a grand, epic journey. THANKS for the ride! You've really have THAT vibe going on. Really like this mix a lot. It slithers and howls. Those piano lines show up in exactly the right places. You vocals are...well, perfectly amazing, and the harmonies are delicious. Great job!

Thanks folks - sorry to have dropped the song on you twice but a W.I.P. does need follow up.
You are, as usual, supportive and generous in your comments.


Cheers

The video is powerful and we appreciate the time and thought that goes into selecting the images.
We love the ticker tape falling to the floor.

As previously mentioned with the audio version the BiaB guys and you really meshed well.
And the piano and your lap steel work nicely.

Well done!

Epic and majestic. I love the mix, though I wish the vocals had been a bit more upfront. Definitely reminds me of Pink Floyd. Needless to say, I appreciate long tracks.

Great lyrics, good vocals, very Pink Floydish as are many of your songs. Really good job.
