Love it, Dewey!! I've tried so many times to write a song about the joy of driving home from work on Friday. This one is masterful. The feeling and the bouncy melody is such a fun sound of anticipation. Excellent lyrics that fuel the drive and your vocals make it all sound so inviting. Well done, man.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Howdy Dewey....

I agree with other comments.

This is a well written song and I particularly like the use of near rhymes which I tend to do also.
You have great voice, cool harmonies, good lyrics and well performed.

Well done.

Joyfully catchy with a nice positive message. Cool chords and good vocals. The band works very well, I especially like how the Celtic drums add fun to the rhythm.

“All those work life troubles
Burst like carbonated bubbles”

We can see, hear and taste that. wink

This has a happy kind of Jimmy Buffet feel to it.

Although retired we both remember those joyous late Friday afternoons at work!

Good vocals and mix too.

Enjoyed it!

J&B

PS Your lyric would've made a fine country "hat act" song back in the day. And that is a compliment!

Like I mentioned on SoundCloud: Great folky groove!

This is the kind of song that makes people happy :-).
