Great intro! Gets the song going immediately. I like the lyrics as well. Some clever lines without being overly complicated.

Hi Torrey.
I was thinking of the music tracks mainly. Maybe a couple more more hits and holds.
I don't know what Daw you're using. Does it have automation to increase the volume on certain parts of the track and decrease on others? A bit like a fine painting with light and dark for impact but loud and soft instead but subtly used.

Yea your right Torrey !
I meant if you write then sell your self , glam it up as everyone does in the industry !!.
If not it sounds bland, done in my room kind of thing !!.
Listen to the stuff on the radio /broadcasts and think how would my song fit in preparation ?.
Again nice song , I've seen/heard loads of songs performed by other people who record/master differently from the original artist/writer !.
To go on and be more successful than the originals .
Swings and roundabouts !.
Won't affect you folks in the B.I.A.B. Forum tho .

ALWAYS, ALWAYS Love to listen to your tunes Torrey!!! Production-wise, this sounds as pro as anything I've heard on the forum!! I love the influence of the old days I hear in your tunes. These days, there are so many 4 chord, 8 bar deals. This is musically so creative!! WONDERFUL!!! Take care. Greg

This has a very good combo of BiaB and your fine performances.
Your excellent, passionate vocals present the uplifting lyric so well.
Not much need to mention the mix as they are always pro level.
We always hear some Beatles influence in your music and it always makes us smile.
We’re glad you reposted it!

I love the harmony guitar intro!
You're taking a pretty big leap tone-wise, in the verses... But it works because of the power of your voice :-)
Very creative chord changes, like only you, can come up with.
As always, the backing vocals are great too.
