moto,
Really well done.
Good write. Simple, to the point, honest.
Excellent vocal. Super backing - nice "band". Good mix.
This has a very "now" sound - the Americana Singer Songwriter genre. It also is the type of song and sound that is used in a lot of movies and tv shows (the darker, pensive ones).
Good stuff.

YEAH!! Man, right from the start this is captivating, Moto. Excellent vocal and quite a range, man. [I've got an answer for you. It's what no one ever wants to talk about. Overpopulation.] Right after this one played Bad Like You came on. I know I told ya I love that song, and it's worth repeating. Breaks over. I had to go back to World Gone to continue here. All your songs are worth countless listens, I like the way you build this song, and how you come in half way through in the higher register. Nice.
[P.S. Thanks for your comment on my song The Price. Since it was already on page 2, I didn't want to reply and bring it back to the top, but, man, I appreciate you.] Hey Marty, Thank you so much for your support. Most of my stuff is pretty simple ( guess that's my style ) anyways, I'm trying to focus more song structure and how the song develops. Based upon your kind comments, I'd guess my efforts might be effective, that's very rewarding. I'm not sure what, if anything, you've changed as of late but, your vocals are very compelling. The amount of good stuff showing up her can be overwhelming. If I don't check in for a few days it takes me hours to catch up with all the talent on display. Thanks again, moto

Lyrics to my taste, very strong message about the current times. Surprisingly melancholy approach, but it really works as a contrast to "Angry themes". Nice simple band with nice development. Enjoyed the vocals. Somehow reminded me of Martin Stephenson and the Daintees.

Nice and moody, with the vocal delivery fits nicely. As floyd jane said, an update of the folk tradition. Works for me!

So nice. You hit the sweet spot with that electric guitar wailing in the distance and vocals, especially when they went up a notch (key, register, whatever it's called). Easy listening. Lyrics are right on. Well done Cap.

As floyd alluded to it has a cinematic feel.
This would sit nicely in a lot of the better series we watch.
Your soulful vocal took us back to a bluesy Guy Clark feel.
Nice ooohs.
The write is outstanding. No need to parse it out...it's all good.
Great band and mix ... the organ was an excellent choice.
Well done,
J&B

Beautiful song.
Might be one of Leonard Cohen's songs, it has that feeling.

Deep, thought provoking song Captain! I loved the passionate vocal on this! Anyone should be able to relate to this with all that is going on in our world!
On a side note, it would be interesting to hear this with minimal or no drums, slowed a bit. But still great as is! Thanks, Torrey

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe
This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
