This time a typical R & AM song, we think.... I agree, and that's a good thing!! Nicely done. A pleasant, catchy tune with a great arrangement, great vocal, and quality production. What's not to like? Oh Yeah, and the obligatory very cool video accompaniment. Very cool!! Take care. Greg

wow, you two are just so INNOVATIVE in everything that you do!

Your chord progressions always throw me a curve by going somewhere I wasn't expecting..
you have real melodies in your songs, and they're always unique and memorable...
you have really interesting transitions between sections of your songs...
Your harmonies always rock...
you are really REALLY good at making real tracks sound like live performances!
The solo in this song sounds like you added some kind of effect to a slide guitar RT... or was that the original RT unaltered? (either way, I really liked that as a solo)

This song made me thing of Fleetwood Mac at several places.

Now, the video was impressive for completely different reasons:
The special effects, animations and transitions you apply are very tasteful and they really add visual interest. And the clips themselves are spectacular! Each of them is visually striking on its own, but when you put them all together in the context of a song, the whole package is so polished that it just SHINES!

Once again, kudos to both of you... you each add so much to your projects, you really make an uncommonly talented and productive team!

I really liked this a lot. One of my new favs of yours. I love that acoustic rock vibe - and I really liked the lyrics and the chord changes too. Vocals/harmonies on the money. Cool video too. I just wish I could be as prolific as you two...it's inspiring.

This is probably your best to date, but it is hard to judge as all of your songs sound like they come from a pro studio!

I also liked the acoustic rock vibe in this one and your vocals and harmonies are spot on.

Greg, Charlie, Josie, Mario, Guenter, Floyd, Mario, Fred and Dani....
thanks a lot for all your positive comments!

Pat: you heard it right! Rob had FleetwoodMac's "I don't wanna know" in mind, when composing this song.
The used resonator guitar has some effects added, EQ (we cut some high frequencies) and delay.
