Who did I think I was? It was only me, destined to be Just another fool who fell in love The wind was blowing hard when I first kissed her Touched her hair and looked into her eyes I had no idea what I’d started Tears I eventually would cry Who was I fooling? Who did I think I was? It was only me, destined to be Just another fool who fell in love I imagined I was not the kind to settle down Dreamed about a life upon the road She said I understand, I feel it too I have this urge to up and go Who was I fooling? Who did I think I was? That was me, destined to be Just another fool who fell in love Looked out through the window at the airport Her plane leapt off the ground and sought the sky I saw it just before she turned to leave That faraway look in her eye Who was I fooling? Knew the answer if I said ‘please stay’ It was only me, destined to be Just another fool who fell in love

Leon & Peter,
A Cool Pop song! Can't help but sing along with that chorus by the end.
A good write.
Nice production. The combination of held guitar and jangle guitar works. Good bass punch. The drop is nice.
Leon's vocals are always crisp and clear. Janice's harmony tucks in there nicely.
Really nice leads and fills.

Peter, Leon & Janice,
A surprising and refreshing change of style; you really capture the pop-rock single sound.
I like the scene-setting first verse:
The wind is blowing hard, the trees all sway
My mind drifts back to yesterday
Rain drumming hard on an old tin roof
Young enough to think I was bullet-proof
The chorus is very catchy,nicely harmonised by Janice;Leon`s vocals energetic and clear throughout and Peter`s guitar fills polished and perfect for the song.
Well done!
Robert

Far too many books on lyric writing say one should avoid cliche lines like "fool in love". This song proves them wrong.  Catchy, and apologetically loud. Fun listen!

Peter,
Well, I wasn’t quite expecting that opening—a pleasant surprise. Not sure why this reminds me of early R.E.M. but it does. Yeah, it totally does. Love the sound of this one. Production wise, some really nice touches here. I’m on the fence as to where the vocal is sitting—I’m curious to see what others think. At times I think it’s a bit muted and too far back—but the more I listen to it, I’m thinking it’s just right. Dunno. Love those harmonies on the chorus. Cool tune, folks.
All my best to you each,
Deej

Another catchy pop-rock classic! You really can write simple lyrics that touch my heart, I wish I could write less complicated stories like this with a nice bridge that reveals the (melancholy) "highlight". Excellent intro and then the great band starts rocking and pleasant vocals singing.
That solo guitar at the end is yet again superb.
Janne

Hi Peter.
Effective song. I think the vocals need upping a bit as they're getting a little lost in the background guitars.

Very different from what I'm used to hearing from you guys! I like it, great groove, lots of energy.
Nice change in mood at 3:20, and I can really hear Janice do her cool thing during that part, she seems a bit buried in the mix for the rest of the song (for my tastes).
Good vocal from Leon, and good write.
Lovely playing as per usual, Peter, nice fills and great outro solo.
Good song guys and gal, enjoyed!

SOLID sound. Good write. Peter, Leon, Janice, you have such gifted talent, and when you combine it you really create some magic. I really enjoy your playing, Peter. Wish you lived nearby and we could jam. This song is polished to a fine shine. You have the mix perfect for the style, but I would prefer to hear the vocals a bit more upfront.

Thanks Deej - given the comments on the vocal I've uploaded a new mix nudging up the vocals a touch. Peter

I loved this tune. It started out and gave me a 80 vibe then slipped into a very cool rock/pop tune. Super vocal Leon and very tasteful harmonies. Very neat hook in this song. I will be humming the melody for the rest of the day. Guitar was excellent Peter. Well done..

Peter & Leon & Janice
Fun and unexpected tune! Sounds like a fusion of Old school pop rock and K-pop. Solid composition and performance! I liked the rest/drift at 3:25 and tensioning of Peter solo winding into the end. I do think Janice is a bit quiet on this, I would bring her vocals up...maybe in some places. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.
