BlueAttitude:
Outstanding work by all involved. Thoughtful write with cool rock/blues influence. Christian’s lead vocal is beyond stellar—excellent. And I really like those harmonies in the chorus—well-done by both you and Marty. Killer lead guitar solo and licks. In short, impressive tune!
My best to you all,
Deej Thanks Deej, appreciate the listen and positive comments! Dave / Christiane,
Excellent and stunning... A rock gem.
Bob Good to see you back here, Bob. Thanks!

Excellent work by all. Great song, great lyrics, great electric guitar, great vocals (sounds like Pat Benatar), and great video.
Bravo! Appreciate that, jpt*3! That is one good song. It me bobbing my head to the groove.
The vocal and guitars make this already excellent composition soar.
Thanks for the listen and kind words!

77 words that speak volumes. I'm stunned. That is not easy to pull off and have it be so coherent. Everyone else said what I would say about the facets of the song. It's just so who you all are. Top notch in every aspect. Just when I though I couldn't be a bigger fan...

Hi, Dave & ,Kathy and Chris !
What a superb write and co-op !
I agree with Josie when she says
that it is sad to have to write songs
about war ....... even in 2022 !!!!
In any case I liked everything about
it, the tune, the mix, the wonderful vocals
- everything !
Cheers
Dani Thanks for stopping by, Dani! Thanks, Herb

Hi Dave, Kate, Chris and Marty,
I think I was on holidays when your song was posted. But what a good song you made with your wife, Chris and Marty!
Very good lyrics, they express what a terrible time we live in. Ver strong vocals from Chris. I missed her a while.
Marty and your background vocals were a bit soft in my headphone, while both of you have good vocals too. A bit more volume, maybe? Or will you then suffice by saying; thanks, Hans ;-)
So, it is -of course- a very strong song from your hand and the others.
I enjoyed it all very much, despite the content of the lyrics, but you know what I mean.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention the video. Chris has a lot of skills. Her video is very impressing and underlining clearly the topic of this song.
Happy Eastern,
Hans

Good fat sound all coming together.
Nice charge into the chorus too.
Vic Appreciate that, Vic, thanks! 77 words that speak volumes. I'm stunned. That is not easy to pull off and have it be so coherent. Everyone else said what I would say about the facets of the song. It's just so who you all are. Top notch in every aspect. Just when I though I couldn't be a bigger fan... Great to have you stop by, Aaron! Thanks for the kind words.

Hi Hans, Thanks very much for stopping by and for your kind words! I did bump up the volume of Marty's BGV, unfortunately I can't change the video without deleting it and re-uploading, which would lose all the comments and I don't want to do that. The level on my BGV is right where I want it to be. Dave & Kathy & Christiane & Marty,
Nice piece of work.

moto Really appreciate that, thanks, moto!

Dave, Kathy, Chris and Marty,
This is such a great song and performance by everyone! Dave, you and your wife wrote some tremendously good lyrics here! Chris's vocals truly capture the needed vibe for the subject matter! Marty bass ties it all together! Loved the vibrato sound on the guitar which is smokin' by the way! Thanks, Torrey
