You really kicked butt on this. You aced the vocal and lead guitar parts. VERY engaging chorus! Loved it.

Hi Torrey,
Your ability to create and present fine music keeps on getting better and better. It's been a while since I last listened to one of your songs. Today, when I set this one in motion on Soundcloud, I sat here thinking: "This is such a good sound! And such a good song." You talent shines.
All the best,
Noel

Professional sounding pop-rock song with very catchy chorus and very nice chord progression. The organ leads this nicely to the 70's. Very good guitar work, especially adding nice layer in the 2nd verse. Vocal track is enjoyable once again. Good story talks to me "you've missed the best days of your life", melancholy overall but nice hope in the end.

Always love to hear your stuff Torrey!! I was a Pablo Cruise fan myself! They are from San Pablo in the east SF bay region, close to where I grew up. Within a few miles of San Pablo is El Cerrito, where Creedence is from, and within a pretty close distance is Oakland (Tower of Power), and Vallejo (Sly and the Family Stone).......rich in musical history in that area!
This is a great tune......lovely melody, great vibe, and a cool lyric!! You always nail it!!! Take care. Greg

"That long and winding road Will never lead you home" Janice immediately noted how cool your vocal and guitar phrasing is on that line. We're late to the party and much has been said. We can add that, irrespective of the mix status, it sounds excellent to us. We'd be proud to call this finished production were it ours. It's nice to see you back ... we've missed those fine vocals and guitar chops. And lyrics and melodies and arrangements and mixes  Be safe, J&B
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos

I'm also late to the party and a lot of what I was thinking already has been said. So all I can add is that this is very professional sounding and is air play ready as it stands.
I think this is absolutely your best to date. I am in anticipation in hearing how you can top this!
The bumper sticker said "I'm a veterinarian, therefore I can drive like an animal".
Suddenly I realized how many proctologists are on the road.

Thanks Floyd! The song was a write it on the spot thing as far as the lyrics go except for the title line and the melody of the chorus. That came to me in a dream a couple months back and I recorded it on my phone's voice recorder so I wouldn't forget it! Since you posted your comments I have tightened this up quit a bit fixing flat notes, editing instrument phrases and changing a word or two. I appreciate the listen! T
