Robert alluded to it...the lyric is ethereal yet the vocal is so organic and, yes, it does make for a great and effective contrast.
If CD's were still popular we'd say you are working on a boxed set. And ALL of them are so good.
You ain't one for filler!
Great band here as always and we agree with floyd on the held chords. Perfect glue.
And the vocal delivers and delivers.
Wonderful listen(s)

Bob,
Another good song. You are really on a roll!
Nice vocal - tons of passion...
I like the production - a bunch. LOVE the way you used the held electric chords...
Terrific listen.
fj I agree completely with Floyd. I really like the way you put so much feeling in each and every song. This is a winner.
Love is grand.

Bob,
You consistently put out some very engaging songs—all of which just hang together and accentuate each other. There’s a killer album in the offing . . . if that’s the direction you are going. This tune, as do your others, creates such a compelling atmosphere—lot of emotion here, and your vocal sells it. Great stuff!
All the best,
Deej

Really well done! It flows tremendously well, and I liked how the lyrics really tell a story here. That, paired with your voice on this makes it a very grabbing listen for me. Perfectly catchy on the hook too - the chorus was a standout to me. Nice work and thanks for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

Really liked the vocal delivery and the acoustic guitar. Lyrics had me wondering which, I think, is a good thing in songwriting.

Very nice write! Strong and airy. Nicely mixed and listens easy. Different from last several tunes, but in a very good way.
Thank you for sharing!

Great lyrics, terrific imagery
Love the passion in your vocals
Great job on the arrangement. Like Floyd said, love the sustained guitars

Thanks!
