Nice piece, Gentlemen. Drawn to the guitar chimes and the cello. Has that ambling feel that truly befits the lyric.

Very cool use of harmonics Peter. Gives the song such a cool feel. Vocal and harmonies were excellent. Guitar is very sweet. Really compliments the vocal. Solo was excellent

"Take it down a notch
Switch off my phone and throw away my watch
Take it down a notch
Down a notch, take it down a notch"

Yeah, that might work!

Great job you two. One of those tunes where everything works so well together.

The fine lyric is well performed and the guitar seems just made to be there. The very cool and laid back vocal contrasts nicely with the lyric's implications that things might be a bit frenetic smile

Throw in the nice arrangement (building and then unbuilding - is that a word?) and spot on mix and you guys have produced a superb tune.

Tasteful and classy come to mind!

On Soundcloud I wrote a quote of your lyrics: Might not be an ending, maybe it’s a start
I think that's what we all hope for. That's why it's so nice to make your music. That is allways your start, but also your nicest legacy.
At least that's what I believe.
It's a nice song, Peter and Leon

Thanks for sharing!


Thanks Deryk I'm sure Leon apprecites the comments on the vocal.

I dig the message here!! Just retired myself about 2 weeks ago, and now I'm ready to enjoy myself after getting the upper hand on the virus from hell. This is a sweet listen.....nice melody, lyric, vocal, mix, guitar of course!, and a message I can get into. I wrote a song called The Right Lane of Life years ago with the same idea. Really enjoyed this one guys!! Take care. Greg
