This is fantastic! Loved your vocal and lyrics. Great choice of RTs and a super mix.
I had a very enjoyable listen!
Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!

Bob, a well built and arranged song.
There's a fair bit of sibilance happening - I suspect it's the reverb but am probably wrong.
That bass is BIG and a little boomy but I think the thing that stands out about it is the sudden cut off of decay as a result of the BIAB construction process.
Cool song!
Cheers

Bob,
Your songs are always good. Well written, well structured, interesting.
Especially love the chorus on this one.
Equally as good (which might get overlooked because of the captivating lyrics and equally captivating vocal) is your use of BIAB to assemble superb singer-songwriter backing bands for a signature sound and a sense that "these guys have played together behind this guy for a long time"...

Hi Bob
'This house is quiet tonight, except for the strangers calling'. Yeah, I don't know why I still have a landline; the only people who call me these days are scammers (and most of them aren't even real people). Seriously though, this a very fine song. A lovely melancholy feel to it and a strong emotion-filled vocal. Much enjoyed.
Regards,
Leon

Bob,
I always look forward to your work. As I always say, your lyrics inspire me to be a better writer. This one is really nice. To me, has a nice Tom Petty feel to it (and that's a really nice thing.)
Thanks for sharing this!

Dark lyrics, shadows and rain falling and then "I don’t accept what I feel Cause I know you’re falling", a reason to light it up, one more time. Strong chorus. Nice build-up. Great band delivering your signature sound.
