Rob and Anne-Marie - I can always live with being associated with one of my heroes, Tom Petty.
Plus, I always think that if you need help with the lyrics, go to the best! Many thanks.
Fred - You flatter me with references to Byrne and Talking Heads. That guy is SO talented and innovative I'm honoured to be mentioned in the same sentence. Thanks for the kind words.
ROG.

I always love your vocals - and these are your best ever... Crisp, clear, immediate... Excellent harmonies...
Good write. Very catchy.
LOVE the solo! Fire!
This sounds great CRANKED!!! This one goes right to the top...
Excellent start to finish - and from every angle.

Floyd, my friend. You are just too kind. I'd just like to make it clear to everyone that I don't pay you anything for these reviews! I really admire your own work, so it's particularly nice to get a thumbs up from you. Many, many thanks. ROG.

"And if you find love's labours lost
Don't ever try to count the cost
If nothing's lost and nothing's gained
Then everything will stay the same"
There's a helluva lot of truth packed
in those four lines. Man, this is a
terrific rocker. I'm not gonna try
and date it or suggest who it sounds
like. It just rocks. Great write,
vocals, scorching guitar and a
strong mix. And it's heading
for our Soundcloud playlist.

Hello.
Hi Sergio. Thanks very much for listening and the positive review. I'm lucky to have a few nice guitars which I've had for many years, so I didn't pay collectors prices for them. The one I'm using here is a 1959 Fender Telecaster. The overdrive effect is a VST plugin called California Sun and then there's a PG Echo on it as well (Guitar Medium Trails). Glad you liked it. ROG.

Rog,
I think this is my favorite of what I've heard from you so far. Everything just fits together so well. Outstanding job on the background vocals. I like everything about this one.

Hi ROG,
I've been busy doing Pat Pattison's Songwriting Course so have only just heard this and I must say that it is excellent. I really love the harmony vocals contrasting with the Talking Heads style vocal. Guitars also sound great including the solo.
Overall top notch!
