Hi
Really enjoyed Chris's lyrics.
Not too simple not too mysterious
Raising questions and setting the atmosphere.
And the cleanness and precision of the lead guitar.
Good listening .
Thumbs up.
Cheers.

Dave and Chris,
Such a great tune! Chris' voice and your licks work so great together on this. The guitar playing is first class all the way and those drums - holy smoke - they sell this one.
What a great listen! I don't get a chance to listen or post very often these days so, I'm delighted I got to hear this one. So sweet in every way!
Alan Alan, I know how busy you have been the last few weeks so thanks for taking the time to listen and comment on our song, I appreciate it!

First thought - someone pays attention to the stereo field. Nice.
Cool Santana sound - evocative. Nice mix - great balance everything sits nicely. Subtle harmonies. Drums sound awesome without overwhelming anything.
Fun listen.

Wow - you guys really outdid yourselves here! As it has already been mentioned - the guitar work on this tune is seriously next level. Not to mention, that vocal performance is stunning. It has so much character and emotion. You really captured a mood here. Great work, and thanks so much for sharing  Thanks for the listen and comment, I appreciate it!

Dave and Chris, You have created a top shelf song and production here. Very well sung and some of the best guitar playing ever posted on this site. A big round of applause from way down here. Absolutely loved it and worth many listens, Tom When I saw that from Tom, I knew this was gonna be special. Indeed. Y'all just keep steppin' it up. Super guitar. Digging that percussion, too... fj Thanks, Floyd I have a new mix up now, still not 100% happy with it, but it’s getting close I think.

Nice tune. Has a great groove with a nice bluesy sound. Some of the instrumental parts sound a lot like Santana to me. Nice job on this. Thanks, Samuel! Powerful track. The guitar work really stands out on this.
Top marks for production. Rob Thanks for the listen and comment, Rob, I appreciate it! Dave & Chris
Yep - that was professional in every aspect. Magnificent playing - really loved the intro, wonderful vocal and beautifully arranged.
Great song.
Peter Thanks very much, Peter! Still not 100% happy with it, I think I've remixed it six or seven times since the original upload. But, getting close now I think. Another awesome tune Dave. You and Chris are sure putting out some awesome music. And your guitar playing wow. You sure have your sound dialed in. Well done... Thanks, Scott! I'm always messing around trying new things on the guitar tracks, sort of a holy grail thing I guess.

Niiiice!! Great rock blues vibe. "Here, here" to the comments above about the production, guitar work and vocals. I hope some day to be able to produce something like this. Thanks so much! The production side of things mostly takes practice, the more you do it the better you get. And this forum has helped a lot, there are some real pro level mixers here and most are happy to offer advice if you ask.

Dang man, we need a step ladder to just try and reach that bar you keep moving up.
It didn't take long for forum members to drop all the well deserved superlatives.
Tweak away....but we assuredly do not have any nits.
This is one of those where after the last note we just look at each other and go WOW!
The percussion, guitar and vocal performance are amongst the very best we've heard here.
Just love the way your guitar and the vocals sit in the mix. Right in the sweet spot.
Great!
J&B
Thanks, Bud! I'm still tweaking actually, but it is almost where it needs to be I think.

I uploaded my final attempt yesterday. Ended up switching out the drum set, this one sits in the mix better. And changed the panning on the acoustic and a couple other small changes. Time to move on I think

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe
This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track.
