Great work again Peter! Sad but lovely! Some clever lyrics and the searing leads at the end were a nice way to finish up! Thanks, T

Very nice Peter and Leon!
lots of good lines, my favorite:
"I had my tilt at piety
When I was very young
Even tried sobriety
But that wasn’t any fun"
Nice arrangement, very effective starting off with just the acoustic. Nice change into the melodic guitar solo at 1:49, and I really like that slide up thing you do a couple of times at the end, very cool.
Enjoyed the listen. Thanks Dave appreciate the comments. Peter

Hello Gentlemen,
What a terrific song! I love songs where the layers progressively build. And a key modulation always refreshes a song and starts the excitement anew. Nice acoustic guitars and the electric guitar fit perfectly at the end. I'm normally not a big fan of songs that end in a fade, but I think it works okay on this one. Thanks for a delightful listen. And yes, Peter, you should sing more! Best to both of you,
Alan

Lovely song Peter and Leon. Vocals were just super. Guitar was exceptional Peter so complimentary to the song. Just fit perfectly. Did I here a little whammy pedal in there. Very cool effect. Thanks Scott - I bought a Line 6 Helix LT a while ago and it has a whammy pedal emulation so I gave it a go. Peter

Great write! It reminded me of something Warren Zevon might do, and that's high praise!
Nice built with the solo at the end. I enjoyed this song a lot.

I like the song. Reminded me of John Prine a bit, but better.
Like how it built as it went along. The key change at the 1:45 point was a nice surprise.
I feel that the doubled vocals were a distraction. Especially up in the first few verses. I liked them in the chorus before that really nice guitar solo. Kudo's on the solo and the slide work.
When you double the vox, try to get the parts closer to the same phrasing on such an intimate song. They came in at a strange place. Partly into the verse. After the key change, they seemed to work and fit and sound better. Seems you took the time to sync the phrasing better. That made a world of difference.
That song is one that the audience would sit in stunned silence at the end for 5 seconds or so before erupting in thunderous applause at what they just experienced.
I like it. Thanks Herb appreciate the review. Looks like the vocal doubling is not to everyone's taste. I've got a few different versions here, picked the one my wife liked  Thanks for commenting on the solo. Peter

Cool song and an excellent narrative.
The drums seem, ever so slightly tilted to one side.
The two voices, individually, are good but, to be honest, they don't blend to make the sum better than the parts.
they seem to sit apart and not blend.
No matter...I enjoyed the song & the sentiment.
Cheers

Peter & Leon, Great song! Some fine lyrics and for crying out loud Peter why are you not singing more...Tom Same question here!! "I had my tilt at piety When I was very young Even tried sobriety But that wasn’t any fun" Great lines...love those rhymes. The vocal performances and the guitar are some of y'all's best...of many. Several have mentioned the build and the guitar on the outro and we agree...very nice and effective. Oh, and the overall arrangement and progressions work really well with the write and vocals. Great one you two!! J&B

Peter & Leon,
Love the gentle reflection in these lyrics and the slow build of the production( with that fine guitar solo to end).
I`d agree with Guitarhacker that the doubled vocal coming in on the verse is distracting- sounds good on the chorus... and that`s a very cool singalong chorus!
Robert Thanks Robert. Peter

Peter and Leon,
what a great listen!
a wonderful song, like the buildup, the guitar solo, and esp. the lyrics
I don't know if you're very familiar with Mark Knopfler's recent songs
but I couldn't help but think of him as a comparison (and of course I love his work)
i enjoyed this a lot,
Kenny
Thanks Kenny I'll take that compliment! Peter

Peter and Leon,
What a wonderful acoustic sound!
The singing style perfect fits this.
The acoustic guitar solo is very nice.
And the electric guitar solo at the ending is splendid.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Peter & Leon,
Cool song. Good write - the chorus in particular...excellent.
Really nice arrangement/production. Terrific build. The soaring guitar a perfect ending...nice.
A very enjoyable listen.
fj Thanks for the review floyd I appreciate the comments. Peter Thank you for letting me hear your finely crafted tune... I enjoyed the listen. Thanks for listening. Peter Peter & Leon, Great song! Some fine lyrics and for crying out loud Peter why are you not singing more. Those first verses were sung with commitment and sound so very good to my ears. I agree with Herb that the doubled vocals were distracting. The guitar solo was super and the whammy pedal surely did work. I really did enjoy it very much despite the doubling, Tom Thanks Tom I do sing most of the songs at least once as demos. The whammy pedal emulation in my Helix is an interesting device, fun to use but pretty easy I imagine to over use. Peter

Hi guys,
First... we love the solo Peter.
One small nit, we detect a tiny bit too much saturation in the mix.
But all in all definitely a good song!
Rob and Anne-Marie
