Keep up the great work!


Thanks Steve

Really well done smile The orchestral backing tracks fit perfectly, and the whole things flows smooth as water. Different than the usual, but the ambition certainly paid off.

Thanks for sharing!


Cheers,

Really interesting song!! Sort of classical blues (a genre I never heard of). It works very well! Really nicely done, and a beautiful guitar outro by Peter....very David Gilmour! Nice job guys!! Take care. Greg

Some nice poetic moments and it gets musically interesting at the one minute mark. I thought it could've been shorter and the brevity would actually make it a stronger piece. But it's fine as is. And the guitar is terrific!

Clever lyrics, sadly probably often a true story....

Great work!

Really appreciate those comments Janne.

The outro guitar is important as it provides the "relief" the song was building towards - worked a treat too.



Thanks for listening Ray.

Thanks a lot Torrey.

I agree the vocal could drop in volume a little, otherwise this is really good ( one of the best I`ve heard from you ),and that outro guitar is spine tingling.

I also enjoyed your guitar solo (as usual)...

Nice touch!

One could spend a lot of time trying to select a "best of the lyric" to comment on. It's that good.

The vocal is so convincingly delivered as are all of Leon's. Just the right amount of edge and soul.

The orchestral tracks are really well done. Actually some of the best orchestral augmentation of a
song that we've heard on the forum. Meaning it very well supports the feel rather than just
"being there."

That's a big cake to ice but the outro solo did it. Sublime. Wow.

Peter and Leon,

I’ve been meaning to get around to this one . . . worth the wait. Terrific write and original production. Melodically, I might have wanted a change up, perhaps a different note, singing a line slightly differently, emphasizing different components of the melody—or maybe introducing some higher harmonies in the 3rd verse (a bit earlier than you do) . Love that guitar solo at the end. Slick.

All my best,

Deej
