Peter, Leon and Janice,

It's 4:00 a.m. in Melbourne right now. This really made me open my eyes.

Brilliant... Brilliant... Brilliant.

I love EVERYTHING about this write and it's presentation.

► Spectacular intro

► Such a memorable melody

► Totally engaging lyrics

► Super, super, super production

► Leon's writing and singing shines

► Peter's guitar playing is *chef's kiss*



► Janice's backing is the perfect icing for such a prize-winning cake

I congratulate you all on a wonderful listen and really fine entertainment.

All the best,
Noel

Thanks Vic - have made an adjustment to the vocal.

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!



Thanks Dave.

Thanks Marty. A jam is only a Dropbox away!

Peter, you had me from the first measure. Everything I would have said already has been said. All I can say is WOW this is absolutely fantastic. Great vocal, harmonies, backing tracks and mix.

I'm a sucker for nostalgic love songs. Good lyrics.

I especially like the melody and lyrics of the chorus. Sticks with you, you know.

Aces guitar work. Love that ending.

Thanks a lot Scott.

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.



Thanks Misha
Never listened to K-pop.....I was actually thinking a bit of The Who when I wrote the song.

Great storytelling tune. Great guitar throughout. I like how you "brought it down" for the next to last verse. That was a nice effect. Excellent work.

Man.... What a good song. I like to listen before I read the credits.
I was thinking this really sounds like the LA Hard Rock style.... And lo and behold, it was. That chorus reminds me of something but I can't place it. No matter, your chorus is good as is the whole song.

Good job to everyone involved. I was wondering if that was maybe your sister on bgv.... Janice.... Should have known.

Totally enjoyed it.

Sweetly heavy backing. All those rhythm instruments played so well together, and the vocals joined in convincingly. Nice cool-down and ramp back up. Peter's guitars gave that extra voice to the band. Much enjoyed this.

Hi PeterF,

Nice composition. Personally, I find the lead guitar too far back (except in the last part) because it is rich in variations. The voices are impeccable. The whole is pleasant. Great collaborative work.
