Excellent, and the best singer I've heard on your songs.
A really memorable song.
Prefer the clean solo (even that is a bit busy).

Top notch work.

The melody across the chorus backing is an interesting tension - it works though.
Lovely voice and nice arrangement.

TuneMonger,

What's not to like about this song? Wow! The music is so very well put together and arranged. Also the lyrics fit the music/mood of the song. The vocals sound like an aggregate of all the "cool girl" singers of the era rolled into one. Just such an warm, fuzzy, peaceful listen. Thanks for posting it, I enjoyed listening to it.

Hello TuneMonger and Chels,

I want to let you know I enjoyed this song very much!
Everything in it is allright; the singer, the band, the melody.
Very well done.

Chels sings with a lot of confidence, even more than she did in a former song (forgot the title).
So you both can be proud of yourself!

Hans

Thanks to everyone for such great comments! Especially Floyd, that kind of review from someone with your expertise has certainly bolstered my confidence. And Tangmo, you were reading my mind as regards writing the song! David Cuny, you could be right, I am not the best at writing chord progressions, and I am going to consult with some who would know better than me to see if I have made some mistakes. (Jeez, I sure hope not, I will be crestfallen.)

It's still weird to me that I am writing pop songs when all I ever used to do was play the blues. But after forty years of 1-IV-V, I guess I got a little bored.

Thanks again all, this was the best response I've gotten yet!

Hi TM ...

Love everything about it! That young lady can sing!!! Keep her in the band! It's as thought this song was written with her in mind as the vocalist. And you gave her some fabulously excellent material to work with. All I can say is that was a fantastic listen ... man, it's great! Great mix and the lyric is terrific.

Uh ... I like it a lot! Thanks for a the pleasure of having the opportunity to hear this.

Best to you. Please be careful

Alan

Confession time - when I see that a song is 4 or 5 mins long I tend to approach it cautiously because my attention span just ain't that lengthy. But this is so good and such a joy to listen to - it ended before I was ready. So I'm playing it again, and again.

Excellent production and Chels is wonderful!
