Hi Torrey,
This song is so typically you. I regognize it frogm the moment you start singing. I agree with the others it is a really good song that makes you feel happy, while it sounds 'classic' Beatles too. And your vocal performance is so pleasant to listen to, as always!
It was a bit a problem reading a lot of posters compared you with Lennon. Janice and Budd always compared me with him, though not lately, but I fear I lost this title to you. And rightly so!
The reasons you (re-) made this song are very understandable. I made a song, called 'the lost song' because of the same reflections.
misha sang his version of it too. I think we just have to continue making songs, mainly because we love doing that. And that is a good reason, don't you think?
Hans
ps: Your warning about the loudness of the song was also true...
