Hi Alyn. Beautiful song. Riveting flutes (or is that the harmonica, sounds amazing) and a touch sad. Hope all is well with you. Cheers. good to hear from you Rich, hope all is well in NZ Yeh the harmonica was haunting, just what the song needed. Compared to the subject of the song my life is perfect   All the bestest Alyn

Really fascinating song!! The music creates an eerie feeling that goes so well with the complicated subject. Instrumentation and mix are excellent-feels totally live and organic. Love what you did with that harmonica. And, finally, I had no idea you could play like that!! Epic!! This is an extremely creative and well done song in every sense. Wonderful work!! Take care. Greg Cheers Greg, That harmonica was perfect for the sadness the song needed. I couldn't fit into my spandex pants for the solo so am glad you enjoyed it!! thanks for listening, and for your PM. Thank you Alyn

Stunnnning, Alyn!
Written like it simply fell out of your heart.
The acoustics sound spectacular - not always an easy thing to get right.
Your vocal is heart-wrenching. Beautiful.
The atmospheric background is really nicely done. Haunting - perfect for the song.
The Hullo Suzie x3 - super. As that was ending, I was thinking... "how cool would it be if it broke out into a big rock sound right here". AND IT DID!!! And SO well done.
This is truly a work of art.
floyd
P.S. .... been missin' ya - wondering where you got off to... I do hope all is well...
oh - almost forgot... nice guitar work! What can I say, but thanks "truly a work of art" ...... I appreciate that coming from a Master like yourself thanks for commenting Alyn

Alyn,
This is simply brilliant! Sorry you went through a rough patch, but look what you came out of it with! And the ripping lead at the end – fantastic.
Regards,
Bob

There is no other word to describe this but BRILLIANT. That guitar is smoking at the end. An incredible track in all regards. Tom

Great song, for me the best of yours.
Very well the harmonica; great chords line used and super guitar solo.
(May be the volume of your voice is too low)

Wow.... impressive!
I'm listening on cans and this is stunningly good. With out a doubt your BEST ever.
The textures in the music are really well done. The sweep works and the ending was executed well.
Like I said.... very nice.
I can relate to this because my brother is now a woman. He won the "most changed" award at his high school reunion. That took some cajones to attend something like that. He made the change quite a few years back and needless to say, it was quite a shock to many people in the family as well as friends.
O-bla dee... life goes on.... Thanks for your wonderful comments about the song. The subject idea is far more emotive than I ever imagined it would be and quite a shock is one big understatement for your family. Thanks for listening and commenting Alyn

Alyn I like the fact that you took a tough subject and made a terrific song out of it. Very good imagination on the instrumentation and use of it. Absolute superb guitar playing (you were smoking)! Enjoyed listening. I had to put something down on paper as that short chat was quite a big moment for that guy. It must have taken a lot for him to tell me about it. Glad you liked me going wild on guitar Thanks for commenting and listening Alyn

What a great song Alyn! Dark but beautiful.
Like Floyd said the acoustic guitars sound very clear and bright.
The harmonica and electro-flute are such an asset to this mix!
The backing vocals are beautiful, and then of course, as always that sudden dynamic solo.
Your best!
Rob & Anne-Marie
Thanks Rob and Anne-Marie I needed to get his thoughts down and the mix , as simple as it should appear, was quite difficult so I am so glad it worked All the best for the New Year Alyn

This is an awesome production and great song. Turn up the vocals a little though.
Other than that, one heck of a job. Nice! Cheers David, I struggled with the vocal level as I wanted it to be a sad song, and an Album track, and settled on the lower more "intimate" version. However your thoughts are noted and I will re-evaluate! Thanks for listening and commenting Alyn

Janice just said that it sounds "sad in an ethereal kind of way...and also hints
of the production of the Beatles during the Strawberry Fields Forever period.
I have a cousin who made the same change and sadly was ostracized by the
immediate family. Very sad, indeed.
Your use of RT's, etc., is always very innovative and this tune illustrates that
very well. The build (explosion?) into the rock sound was brilliant.
Enjoyable and thought provoking!
J&B Thank you both and Janice hit the spot with her "sad in an ethereal kind of way" 'cos that is EXACTLY what I wanted but couldn't think of the way to describe it. It must be one hell of a thought to have in your mind and then to act on them....unimaginable! Never thought I would write a song that was thought provoking in a positive way Alyn
