This is a magnificent composition and production. I'd say this is my favorite that you've posted.

The chorus really sets its hooks in you. As others have said, this is definitely hit material.

Stay in, stay safe, and stay off the beaches.

Janne - thanks for the nice comments. As I mentioned, regarding a previous mention of U2... I don't know their music at all, so that reference eludes me... but it is interesting that at least 2 people thought that same thing...

Anyway, this is awesome (again) and I LOVE it.

All the accolades are deserved- a stellar write,performance and production.

JJW - Thanks for that. I was hoping that it would come across like that....

Floyd, your vocals have always been so good but I've noticed that your compositions and arrangements are becoming more complex and just plain slick! That intro grabs the listener immediately! Perfect message for your listeners at this strange time we live in! Such a beautiful job all the way around! To quote one of your phrases "I'm a fan"! Thanks, Torrey
