Hello Peter. Really enjoyed this. The melody fits very well.
I also liked the rhyming . Great choice of band. Smooth and laidback.

Peter,
Magnetic and engaging from the start . . . inviting vocal by Leon, and a stellar mix that really accentuates the tune. If I had one comment on the production is that the harmony on the last lines of the first two verses seems a bit too strong, though not so much thereafter—so maybe revisit that . . . but just a really nit suggestion. This is so, so solid as is. Terrific write and execution, and love the guitar lick close . . . killer.
All the best,
Deej Appreciate the review thanks. Peter

"They may tell you that facts are not important
Reality can somehow bend to your will
You may be headed for a major disappointment
Soon may be swallowing a very bitter pill'
We love the write and the above can well apply to so many situations....
Janice said Jim Croce from the get go...one of her favorites.
A fine vocal, a nice spacious mix, wonderful guitar and arrangement take the lyric to a very cool place.
How long have you and Brent been jamming?
Excellent y'all!

Bud / Janice Brent thought it was time we got together! Thanks for the supportive review we both appreciate it. Peter

This is at least a small masterpiece, no doubt from me about it whatsoever. The vocals are stunning and so gentle, the lyrics are beautiful and heartbreaking and that finale, you and Brent Mason "trading licks" on the guitars just took it through the roof to the stratosphere for me. I'm commenting this after the first listen only, but I want to hear it again - and, most probably, again. Congratulations - you've shaken me out of my "listening comfort zone" this morning - great job. You are too kind. Thanks for such a positive review. Peter

I love the song. I agree with the Bread comparison. The only nit I have is just a personal one. I think the drums are just a tad too busy in places for the mood of the song. Very well could just be my first impression at the end of a pretty hectic day.  In my opinion if they are going to be busy, in this song they should be a little farther back in the mix (usually I want the drums more up front). But this didn't take away from my feeling that this is a good song, well done. Thanks for sharing! Steve Thanks Steve appreciate the comments & drum suggestions. Peter Liked the occasional vocal doubling. Liked the mix level of the drums - just the right amount of "pop". Very enjoyable listen. Thanks for listening. Peter

This song is great. The vocals are quite smooth and suit the tone of the song. Thanks for sharing. Thanks Ember I thought the guitar statement at 2:10 very well captured the emotion of the preceding vocal verses, as a polished re-stating. Appreciate that Ed. Peter Great melody and lyrics. A fine performance by all. Enjoyed my listen. Thanks Charlie. Peter

Peter & Leon,
Nice opening!
I agree with Dave - Leon's vocal on this is outstanding. Smooth, comfortable. Filled with emotion. Nicely processed.
The production has a "gentleness" to it that allows the message to shine. Nice mix.
Nice ending - sweet guitar. It all made me think of Bread (a truly under-rated band).
Sweet!
fj I agree with everything Floyd says, as I frequently do! I thought of Bread myself....some of the 7ths and melodic aspects. Leon sounds GREAT!!! The guitar is really pretty (like the left/right jam), and the mix/arrangement are great!! For me, the drums seemed a little heavier than the rest of the instruments....not volume but style. WONDERFUL!! Take care. Greg Thanks a lot Greg love the Michael Franks like material you are doing. Peter

A good collaboration guys...
I really like the lines...
"Sure, I was hooked on you but hey - I gave up cigarettes
All I have to do is figure out how to forget"...
Not only is it vivid...
But it also flows well into your hook.
Thanks!
Jim
