Rob,
Moody and hypnotic! With this song I think you`ve gone into new ( more intense )vocal territory- and come out with one of your best.
The style is cool, of course, but you`ve made it your own.
Very very good work.

I like the drum intro. It's sparseness sets the haunting mood.

Great instrumentation choice. Fits the song like a glove.

Love the ethereal feel of this. And that intro was splendid. Totally enjoyed my listen ... a real treat.

In the few moments I have several times a week, I've been playing around with this same style, but am taking it in a much different direction. It will be an instrumental rather than a vocal. Really cool ... one of my favorites from you! Best to you ...

I'm late to the party but glad that I came and gave a listen! This is your best to date IMHO. Your vocal is outstanding! I can hear the pain in your voice and the effects are super! That lead guitar fit perfectly. Loved the bass! A perfect mix.

If I heard this in a record store (CD store?) I would have bought it right then and there.

A different sound for you Rob but I like what you did with it! It has a haunting sad feel to it but makes an impact! Thanks, Torrey

Rob,

Magnetic tune—got a bit of a Cash feel to the vocals, and against the mix, it’s like something he would have done in his older days (like “Hurt”). Stellar production work—nice melodic changes—sweet vocal. Love that lead guitar—really sits well in the tune. Very good!

All my best to you,

Deej

Rob,
"Moody, "sparse and spooky", as others have written, describe this track perfectly.
The band sounds great and the vocals are spot on.
Cheers,
Mike

Great listen Rob. Vocals and tracks very good. I'm glad you posted the BIB tracks used, sometimes we forget to do that. Aside from being one of the rules we all can benefit from knowing what RT's and RD's were used.
Thanks again.

Almost spooky...yet not. Fascinating.

Nice use of the solo guitar also.

Excellent!
