Man, that's a nice mix of guitars, Deej. Love the story, and your voice is outstanding. Such emotion and range. A wonderful presentation all around.


Enjoy whatever happens!

I really like the balance between the lyrics and the band. Although it's bouncy and catchy pop rock, the chord progression and your interpretation bring forth the inevitable sad truth of the story, yet regret occurs only in the final words. The instrument selection is perfect and I especially like the use of the solo guitarist. This song would fit perfectly in some songwriter related movies I've seen recently.

Al said, "A lot of folks say you shouldn't put an upbeat backing to a sad song. I disagree ... sometimes the contrast adds a great dynamic that compliments the whole work. This is a good case in point."

A great point. One Tom Adams has made before during our collabs.

It's all been already said. Everything is hittin' the note...the write, the vocals, the band and the mix.

Excellent use of RT/RD tracks.

It sounds great on the KRK's. Super soundstage.

Well done!

Deej, clever use of that baritone! Nice little chord structure in the verses and harmonies! Excellent lead vocal again! Great carryover on influences from different generations of artists! Great job! Thanks, Torrey

I've got a lot of catching up to do too. I'm two weeks late on this one.

The whole sound. feel, and the vocal performance really grabs you.

Really effective transition into the guitar solo from "...I'll live mine."
