Just like the title suggests; dark and with tension. I like that. It is different from a lot of your songs. Not a typical Blues. The 'heavy' sound of the piano in (some) contrast to the beautiful vocals gave it that intriguing sphere. You never disappoint me with your songs! Hans Hi Hans, Yes, it's definitely not blues. Not sure what genre it should fall under actually ;P Thanks, happy we didn't disappoint! Originally Posted By: Rob4580 Hello Dave. This is really a great production. Good choice of the band and the singer is faultless. Congrats to all involved. Rob4580 Thanks for stopping by Rob, appreciated! Dave Blue Attitude Website Blue Attitude YouTube channel

The vocal level drops for a couple of words at "sunlight" 1.12 and around 1.29 a similar thing occurs. It does add to the dynamics so I may be missing the point. Lovely work - cool song.

We like the way Chris's piano and vocal sit on top of the mix presenting a great blend for the haunting feel of the lyric. Dave and Marty? Just spin the superlative wheel and pick one. Looking forward to the video and much enjoyed the audio! 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 are here on our website.

I never seem to remember the actual lyrics of your songs, because I'm so caught up on the mood and sound. It's as much an "experience" as a song. Thanks, David!

The last few videos have all had performance elements which makes them more fun IMHO.

She has a really interesting style that just grabs the listeners attention! I often am reminded of Ann Wilson when I hear her. Dave you always seem to give the right touch to what is needed in a song with your guitar playing. What you put down here is excellent again! What a player you are! Marty is such a great addition to your ensemble! He again has provided a pro sounding contribution here with his parts! Super job! T

Marty's bass. Dave's guitars. Chris' write, vocals, piano. The band's BGVs. Y'all have developed a terrific sound. Consistently good. Always an enjoyable listen. One more cut for the next album... Good mix. Nice. fj Agree with all that!! You guys pretty much nail it every time!! When I heard Chris a few years ago for the first time, I thought she was a solid singer, but man she gets better and better, and is killing it these days!! Great job guys!! Take care. Greg

I really like the dark melancholy mood - because it fits with the winter darkness in the Northern Europe and the beautiful chord progression reminds me of musical style used here. Nice delicate singing and the backing vocals work very well, I enjoyed the lyrical landscape also, kaleidoscoping - clever idea for a verb. Great band, the lead guitar plays very emotionally. Very touching song overall and gets better on each listening. Janne Hear My Music: Soundcloud YouTube
