Hi Steve ...
The problem with arriving late for the party is that all the good stuff has already been said. I watched the video first and then listened on SoundCloud. This is such a terrific song. You picked the perfect style for the backing tracks ... catchy from the opening measure. And your vocals, much like Greg Johnson's, just float and sweeten the air that carries it along.
And Rachel is, indeed, a lovely lady. And congrats on the endurance of your marriage.
Wishing you everything good.
Alan

Hi Steve,
This is such a wonderful listen on all fronts.
Your writing, your arranging, your singing, your production and your mix radiate skill, sincerity and pizzazz.
What a brilliant choice of instruments, too! You kept me thoroughly engaged from start to end. I was so focused that when the end arrived, I blinked because it seemed like hardly any time had passed. Seriously... this presentation could easily have been from a world-class professional studio.
I really enjoyed this.
All the best,
Noel

I saw this mentioned and figured I'd have a listen. Glad I did. Those BGVs sounded like something CSN would have done.
Nice work.

Hi Steve,
this one really caught me - what a great love song. To me it's almost perfect in it's frill-lessness (don't even know if this word exists, but you'll understand what I mean and that I mean this in the most positive sense).
What a great arrangement, very nice harmonic progressions, very appealingly sung. And the chorus (I call it chorus although it appears only once) struck me like a lightning. Hats off - love it!
Take care,
Stefan

It's all been said. I see your name and I think two things before even hearing it. Great song. I can't wait to hear those background vocals. Once again, as always, you delivered in a BIG way.
Thanks so much Steve!

Lovely song Stephen. Super vocal and lyric. What a wonderful way to meet you future life partner. Thanks for sharing.. Thanks so much, Scott! Nice work on this - delightfully catchy and easy to follow. Some interesting lyrics too  Thanks for sharing! Thank you, Deryk. Always good to hear from you. Glad you like this one! Hmmm....well we have a list of the excellent aspects of this tune:
- the lyric
- the melody
- the vocals - all of them
- the arrangement
- the instrumental performances
- the RT/RD choice
- the mix - wow, what a soundstage!
You have a wonderful way of delivering personal heartfelt vocals without getting all angsty...but with all the emotion needed to pull the listener in for the story. Nobody would walk away from this without understanding the depth of y'all's relationship.
Hey, nice photo in the vid!

Thanks, Janice and Bud! Always good to hear from y'all! Your kind words are so appreciated! A lot to like here, but the background vocals especially were outstanding IMHO. The mix was terrific, too. And I liked the rhyming of angel and painful, worked very well for me. Thanks so much, TuneMonger! Really appreciate your kind words, and glad you like the background vox. === Steve

Janice & Bud pretty much said everything I was thinking! Really wonderful job on the song. Thanks so much, Ember! Steve...
Awesome song in all regards.
Love! the beat of this - right off the bat.
The addition of the organ in the 2nd verse is the perfect touch (and man! it sounds good!)...and the steel at just the right time. Ditto the piano in the 3rd. Very cool BGVs. And that little touch of steel at the end. All indications of a man who knows how to produce a good song.
Your vocals are ALWAYS good.
Your mix is ALWAYS good.
"But it was clear, we started a lifetime
At a quarter to nine"
What a great line - and great summary...
A solid write start to finish.
This might be my favorite of yours (among so many).
SO good from every angle.

Thanks a bunch, Floyd! That really means a lot to me. So glad you like this one! SWEET!!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!! AWESOME!!!! If I were running advertising for PG music, I would use this track to show what the program can do in the right hands!! Beyond the great track, wonderful use of the instruments, and great vocal, the writing is AMAZING!!! "We started a life time at a quarter to nine"........what a creative and fresh approach to thinking and writing. So much of the way we speak and write is generic......we fall into the same patterns. This is SOOOOOOO creative!! LOVE THIS SONG Steve!!!!! Take care. Greg Greg, I so appreciate your very kind words! Very nice romantic backstory for the appropriate title and the touching lyrics. I like the development to the catchy chorus, the verses have that excitement of what's coming for the lifetime. I like your vocals including the backing in the chorus. The arrangement is quite delicate, which is nice, although I was expecting fireworks in the end Janne Thanks, Janne!
