A song of tribute and honor to a friend who finally ended a long battle with cancer and went to her eternal reward in heaven. Her faith and positive outlook on life was like a bright light that shined on all those who knew her. I want to take up that light and help others. That's the inspiration for this song. I hope it lifts the faith of all who listen. Lyrics are in the YouTube video.
Thanks, Torrey

A wonderful song, Torrey, thank you. On the right on the YouTube page was "Feel You In The Wind", so I listened to it, too, and enjoyed it.

Torrey,

I enjoyed the ebb and flow of this song - it sounds marvellously Beatlesque to me. The production is very well done and your vocal,especially on the chorus and harmonies, as good as I`ve come to expect from you.
A fine and uplifting tribute.

Very, very nice, Torrey! Great tribute to Dana. What a legacy to inspire such a powerful song. And the message is great.

As to the music, I love the "Beatle-esque" feel to it. Great arrangement, and your vocals really shine.

Thanks for sharing.

Blessings to you,

Steve

Beautiful. Good write - lyrically and especially melodically.

Strong vocal - one of your best. Excellent arrangement and instrument choices throughout. Nice orchestration - very Beatlesque.

Excellent mix. Great listen. Really well done!

Agree with all of this!! Strings/drums/vocals are very Beatle-esque (right out of the Sgt. Pepper era). This is wonderful music and a great tribute. Awesome!! Take care. Greg

Hello, Torrey

Very nice and beautiful tune!
And very Beatles-like.
The chord progression of the starting is wonderful.
Your vocals and chorus are excellent.
Strings of the ending are also effective.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Torrey,

What a wonderful tribute to and celebration of your friend's courage and strength. I found the lyrics very moving. In addition, the music, your arrangement, your singing and your production are outstanding. Everything sounded radio-ready professional to me.

As others before me have noted, there is definitely a Beatles vibe that threads its way throughout the composition and the arrangement. It suits the song incredibly well.

You and Ron have done a great job.

Regards to you both,
Noel
