Great to see you back around bro. Man, what a production. We are immediately reminded that you are a master of dynamics and segment segues and great drums and great vocal/guitar performances and great mixes, etc., etc., etc. Two verses and a chorus. So often if you can't say it with that there may be nothing much to say.  Keep 'em coming! J&B
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos

Wow. Starts out the gate with a bang. Quiet verses, then bang into the chorus. Big guitars, layered vocals, pounding drums. Fun listen!

Hey Tom ...
Good to hear from you again! IU was absent from the site for about 2 months until last week. We sure do miss out on a lot of good music when we're away - don'tcha think?
Nice contrast between verse and chorus - which is mutually rewarding. Your songs always capture and keep the listeners' attention. In the choruses, I like the really full soundscape - there's something everywhere from left to right, front to rear. Yet nothing steps on anything else. Everything has the needed space to do its part. That doesn't happen by accident - a fair amount of talent and knowledge goes into that.
Another cool song from you that put a smile in my ears. Take care ...

Wonderful song, Tom. Welcome back. Wow, 5 months on the road. Good to hear. Live gigs are pretty scarce around here. Man, that chorus really grabs ya. The perfect hook. As always, your vocal and guitars steal the show and seal the deal. Very well crafted.

Welcome back, Tom! (the place has gotten somewhat hectic since you were here last)
...and welcome back to those signature killer sounds - an incredible mix - crisp, clear, clean...everything in the perfect place.
Good vocals. Excellent guitar work.
"She’s a master class in cussing she can make a sailor blush
She digs in on her opinions not one to compromise...."
Nice.

Well Thomas you can back with a bang!
Fantastic song with some great lyrics and guitar chops. Super mix.
Loved it.

The title was perfect to start with. I really liked how you differentiated the verse and the chorus--from an instrument perspective what did you do there?

Nicely done. For me, that checks all the boxes.
Production, melody, writing, guitar playing, length, just good on all accounts. I always look forward to seeing you post.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

So...I would ask what you've been up to but apparently mastering all things music! lol
Welcome back my friend! I see the name and already know it will be great. Once again, you didn't disappoint.
All I can say is your songs feel right and put a smile on my face.
I hope all is well!
