This is very cool Greg. Kind of reminds me of Jeff Lynne. Which means it is an awesome production. Great job. I can tell a lot of work went into this on every level and it shows.

Hi Greg.
Philosophical, dramatic, thought-provoking and above all engaging.
Beautifully written, arranged and performed.
Expertly mixed.
Certainly one of your best.
ROG. Don't think there's much we could add to this. Wonderful song and performance. Congrats on a job very well done! Merry Christmas ... Thanks for listening and commenting Al and Di! Great to see you guys around more these days! Keep comin' round. Happy New Year! Greg Alan & Di

"Another few steps up the mountain".... great line!
The chorus melody is gorgeous!
The orchestration is really nicely done.
"Another ad on my TV About the me that I could be" ... nice!!
"It seems existence is a given But am I really livin’?" ..... terrific summary line.
The French horn (I think) is a perfect addition.
The mix is excellent. Your vocal is well recorded (your best ever, I think).
Thanks so much for that very kind review Floyd! Your words, as always, mean a great deal to me. Happy New Year! Greg
Beautiful song. Excellent write.

Hi Greg,
what a beautiful song! Writing, vocal delivery and orchestration are awesome. I enjoyed my listen a lot.
Guenter Thanks Guenter! I really had a lot of fun with the orchestration. I've always loved what an orchestra can do. Wish I had better knowledge of how to arrange. Take care. Greg

Greg, Another outstanding vocal performance! Some very thoughtful lyrics. "It seems existence is a given But am I really living’?" That just kind of wraps it up. Life gets tough sometimes and it is difficult to express the day to day monotony that sometimes occurs. You have done a nice job of conveying a feeling that everyone has at one time or another whether they want to admit it or not. The mix sounds good and there are some nice decorations with the orchestration. Good one! Tom Thanks Tom! Appreciate the kind words. Love your new one!! Take care. Greg

Sensational Greg, your contributions are always popular and looked forward to on this Forum.
I was fascinated with the lyrics:
"Another ad on my TV About the me that I could be Self-reflection, how it pains me"
Fantastic and provocative at the same time.
The strings gave just the right amount of melancholy feel.
You've certainly delivered again.
Best for the New year!

Greg,
You managed to sum up the crisis of modern existence in a poem set to music. Your success is measured by the fact that either the words or the music could stand alone by themselves and deserve praise. Together, they are beyond praise.

floyd So I'm listening and making mental notes about this song and I scroll past Floyd's comments and, 'Eureka!' I'm not wild about the fade-out ending, but everything else is terrific and I especially like your vocals. You're a songwriter:) Happy New Year!

"In my many decades as a songwriter, I don't think I've written and recorded a song that matched my intention more than this one."
Well since I haven't been a songwriter for decades perhaps there's hope for me personally capturing what you have described. It is indeed elusive.
I'm not even going to pick a fav line or two. The entire song is good, very good, excellent. I'm gonna once more and then look forward to listening again this afternoon with Janice.
The production is gorgeous including the track selection and the vocal.
Outstanding.
J&B Thanks so much J and B!! You guys are always so nice to me. Your comments mean a great deal to me. You've done a lot of great stuff in '15! Keep it up! Take care. Greg

Hi Greg,
Really nice in all aspects. As floyd has pointed out, there are some truly outstanding lyrics. You have a flair with words. For me, I could see this song on the stage in a musical as the lead character's melodic soliloquy that reflects on life and its journey.
Beautiful writing with words and with music.
Happy Christmas, Noel Thanks so much Noel! I guess the music does have a dramatic flare. Really appreciate your kind words! Take care. Greg

I was quite an ELO fan. I did work hard on the orchestral parts and was pretty happy with them. Your latest just blew me away! Take care. Greg

Dean Thanks so much Dean! I thought of the song as quite personal but I guess it is a very common feeling in this crazy world. I'm a huge fan of yours! Good luck with your recovery. Take care. Greg
