Robert,
This is my favorite of your lyrics. A story well told in original phrases and superb imagery.
The "rockier" BAND is a nice vehicle and it still maintains the lighter acoustic feel needed. Nice
Well mixed.
I really like this.

Thanks for those positives,Floyd. I tried a heavier backing band initially, but it didn`t gel with my vocal style... the baritone guitar had to stay, of course!
"we grew up north of happy
across the river from getting by
born under a bad sign
the song he played after school"
Now that will grab you immediately for the ride...
A wee bit of rock but ultimately all Robert...a good thing.
Great write, vocal and band.
The mix is excellent.
Happy Holidays!

J&B,
The Cream reference is from my older boy`s playbook... one day he`s going to find out dad can rock some too!
Thanks for your encouraging comments.
I like this straightforward pop/rock approach - still the chording has your recognizable and enjoyable style, especially the chorus reveals its fine details on each listen. Lyric tells a nice story, the title is well chosen.
The baritone guitar highlights the mood nicely.

Janne,
I`m addicted to that maj7th chord- in most of my choruses!
I appreciate your listen and likes.
