You are back from the space of prog. rock with another very good mainstream song! And of course there are some lyrical nuggets: Here comes the highway Just like a tinderbox To make your mind go up in flames Robert

It had a kind of "All These Things That I Have Done" vibe to it which is one of my favourite songs of all time. Your vocal really built towards the end and complemented the song perfectly. Nice one!

But that is a personal opinion and no biggie. Bruce would like to do this one! Hmmm, if you eased off on the effects, you might need to do a doubled track vocal to add back in any lost "fatness".
