Excellent one of the best of the 47 I think. Made me pick up the guitar and play along.
Top lyric and vocal.

That sax is really great. This is a wonderful, Cohen-ish write -- great job. I love the last verse before the last chorus, too.

Love this one, Fred.

Maybe your best write (among many). Great lines through and through...

Excellent arrangement, production and mix.

This is pro level stuff.

"I’ve been down this hallway before

Looking for a number on a door

Never found it, though I’ve tried

Someone tricked me someone lied"

Well, that will certainly get your attention
right from the get go. And it doesn't let go
until the last note.

Strong write, vocal and production. The whole
package is extremely well thought out and
arranged.

The RT choice particularly the sax superbly complement the
melody and lyric.

One to be proud of (of many)

We enjoyed it!
