What a cool surprise Torrey. I kind of had to sit up when the song started. Your vocal was so different at the start.
Loved how the songs energy built through out the song. Very well done. One of your best..

FWIW, we don't hear any pop here just an excellent country tinged rock song.
Old school? new school? -- how about simply good? ... very good!

That genre or sub genre smile is one we are well familiar with and for us is timeless.

You nailed the arrangement and mix for this with the light open feel.
Plenty of space for everybody.

Great vocals, like Ray said excellent diction, with the fine lyric readily understood.
Ace guitar also.

Glad that radio dial landed on this!

I echo all other comments.
Very upbeat, great vox/bg and just a pleasure to listen to.

Well done!...per usual.



Thank you sir! I appreciate your comments but I don't think that bar is too high lol! T

Lightning bolts aren't random --they always seek the best receptacle, and these bolts out of the blue know where to strike for the best results.


Thanks Marty! I always appreciate your comments! T

Inspiration doesn't look for place or time when it strikes! Many words need to be kept inside or use a filter, but I'm glad you didn't keep this inside, good message put into a nicely rocking pop tune. Very good band, excellent solo, strong vocals, catchy chorus.

Clever word play and rhyme. Some of your best lyrics yet.

Musically, very engaging and well structured. I expect nothing less from you.

Yup, I would say country rock too.

You gotta go to it when the inspiration strikes, whether it is at the piano or in the bathroom.

A quality production. Nice use of the BAND and nice additions of your own.

Terrific vocals. As always.
You sound really different at the beginning of the song. I looked back to your comments to see if it was someone else...

Super catchy chorus! You do Pop the way it ought to be done. Songs worth hearing many times over.

Excellent all around.

Thanks Floyd for your comments! That was my "country" voice lol! Ironically, that type of vocal comes more naturally to me than a rock vocal does! T

Your mixes are always excellent, but this one sounds even better than usual. I love the vocal and how everything sounds so present and crisp.

This is really an outstanding piece of music.

Song , Lyrics , message, arrangement, mix , vox....all first class. Glad you snuck this one in !
Thats too many superlatives ... I'm getting soft in my old age smile

Gary.


Thanks Gary! I am extremely honored by your comments! T
