Very good Torrey! I like the pace of the song - makes me want to pick up a guitar, strum along, and come in on the chorus line. Those lead solos doubled are wonderful and crisp. A great listen!
Andrew
PS A good song to remember in times of doubt. Thanks Andrew! This wouldn't be too hard to play along with. TB

I've been away from the Showcase for a while so I haven't heard a Torrey Bliss song for quite a time.
This is great. I'd forgotten how professional your songs sound.
Your voice, the band, the production are all first class.
I really enjoyed this one. Thank you.
Mike Thanks Mike! I really appreciate your comments! TB

Excellent.
Everything to love from origin story to mix n master.
My only nit would be the clickiness of the kick BUT that's a person bugbear.
TOP stuff. Thanks, Ray, for having a listen. The kick drum never was a concern for my ears. I will give it some attention! TB

I was thinking the other day that it's been a while since we heard a new song from Torrey, and here it is!
Wonderful message, love the chorus especially. Those first two lines pretty much says it all:
"Life is a gift we open each day
Oh don't throw it all away"
Taking life for granted is so easy to do, and I think most of us are guilty of doing that at some point.
Love your vocals and playing, top notch arrangement and mix too.
Great to hear a new one from you, Torrey, very much enjoyed it! Thank you Dave, I always highly value your comments! TB

I think we need to spend more time sleeping.
Nice one, Torrey. Lots of original lines, too.
"The heart of the problem
Is the problem of the heart". Nice.
Vic Thanks Vic!

Hi Torrey,
A good song, a good chorus (like you always have) and I hope that orange guy listens.
But probably he wont, so I ignore him, and tell you this is a very good song, where your lyrics and your vocals really shine...
Take a good book!!!
Hans Hans, orange, red, yellow, black and white, we all have a problem of the heart we have to deal with! I certainly was looking in the mirror on a lot of this especially with the help of The Good Book! Thanks for having a listen! TB

The beautifully swaying rhythm caught my attention from the very first beats. Nice chord progression reminds me bit of Black Magic Woman and the melody is sweet. I like the light arrangement where there is room for every instrument. You are singing really well, and the mix lets your voice emphasize the message clearly. Harmonies are excellent as always. Nice modulation and the guitar solo fits perfectly. Definitely one of your best songs, I really enjoyed your relaxed performance and how you managed to bring simple truth "Life is a gift we open each day" from your dream to all of us to hear.
Janne Thanks so much Janne! I truly appreciate your comments! TB

Torrey, an outstanding song with a very important message.
Loved the groove and the backing band.
Outstanding vocals and lyrics
Some very impressive guitar chops were the icing on the cake.
IMHO this is your best to date
Loved it Thanks Mario for all the kind words! TB

The heart of the problem is a problem of the heart.
Great line. Infact the entirety of the lyrics have a mighty fine message. Too many people learn this the hard way.
Good song Thanks Herb! I appreciate it! TB

Torrey,
This is definitely Bluegrass/Pop-Rock/Gospel.
It's a different genre from your usual songs, but it still clearly reflects your individuality.
The swaying rhythm and simple, beautiful, and memorable melody make this a wonderful song.
Your vocals and guitar playing are as strong as ever.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Her Torrey, Great song! Love the lyrics.
Your special style and special voice are on full display here. No one sounds like you man!
Songwriting is exceptional, lyrics are deeply touching, and the instrumentation enhances the emotion perfectly. Production is polished, performances are expressive. It all comes together beautifully. Classic Torrey.
So good to see you.
