Hello, Robert, Scott and Janice
Really cool Tune! Nice groove.
As Peter said, very atmospheric Jefferson Airplane feel nicely done.
Scott's guitar is very melodic and a perfect fit for the piece.
Unusual harmony is also very effective.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
So good to hear your music again.
Best regards.

Hi Shigeki, Thanks for listening -I`m glad you enjoyed our work. It was a short and very refreshing break for me... nice to be back! Robert

Robert,
When the groove started, you snared me. It was an excellent choice for those very atmospheric lyrics and arrangement. The lyric pace is perfect for setting mood and enhancing the ambience. I found it very easy to imagine a panther pacing around its cage, staring and glaring.
Scott, your guitar work left me smiling and thinking, "I wish I knew how to play guitar!"... a perfect fit for Robert's song.
Janice, your harmonies captured the vibe very well and added even more mood to an already hypnotisingly haunting presentation.
Nice work everyone!
All the best,
Noel

This is really cool. Kinda reminds me early King Crimson and Robert Fripp!
Must be the guitar Scott!
Great song and vocals all around. Loved it! Great production Robert and team.
David thanks so much for the awesome comparison I love Robert Fripps music

Robert, We are really impressed that you asked Brian Ferry to sing this one  But seriously, this is great! We had no idea that you could produce such a sound. We are both big fans of Roxy Music and this is that sound. Perfect! Rob and Anne-Marie Rob & Anne-Marie, I`m glad you liked this. Roxy Music- really? I hadn`t listened to them for decades but they had a great sound...hmmm now you`ve given me an idea. Thanks for your listen and comments. Robert

That`s much appreciated, Noel. The lyric idea came from the poem The Panther by Rilke. I won`t bump it again here, but thanks also for your listen and kind comments about my Madman song... I was off the grid for a while. Robert

Dang, guys ...
You make me wanna find some bell-bottoms, tie-died shirts and let my hair grow!
Wow, this is so good in every way! Janice's harmony is a wonderful addition to the great lead lead vocal. And holy smoke ... that guitar work! perfect mix and love all the backing tracks. All of you have recreated and executed the 1968 sound as good as can be done, I would think. Super cool!
Alan & DI Robert/Scott/Janice...
What a treat to hear! Such an interesting write - I really like the pace of the lyric - terrific images, well painted with a minimum of words...
Scott's guitar work is awesome (both parts).
The background vocals are haunting. The percussion is a cool addition. Excellent mix.
Nice work by all...
fj Robert, Scott & Janice,
This is an absolutely great piece of work. So many textures... Love everything about it.
Bob Thank y'all! I want to mention Robert's harmony part that blended so well with my harmony and his lead.
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos are here on our website.

Robert, Scott, Janice, Nicely done by all three. It definitely has that cool psychedelic sound of the late 60's. Cool write, great production and harmonies and hats off to Scott for not overplaying and finding some cool licks to enhance the song. Well done, Tom

Well done, Tom So glad to hear you found the sound authentic, Tom. For each of the three songs we`ve collaborated on I gave Scott a band or song I`d been inspired by and each time he`s recorded something with a similar feel and all his own licks. Cool indeed. Robert

Was a lot of fun noodling around the vocals and song backtrack. Robert did a great job of mixing this as well as he took my raw guitar tracks and placed them very respectfully into the song.. This is an art in itself..
