That really hits the spot.
Excellent write!
Interestingly wide mix.
Vocals are very well done, the band comes together nicely.
I think you've got a winner here.
moto Thanks Moto Lots of fun goings on here. A bit too dense/overproduced sometimes. I love what you do with the assisting vocals.
Anyhood, 2 points for playing with the ambiguity of wrap / rap meaning able to comprehend / able to explain – though I spent too much time wondering if this was a commentary on hiphop. True dat... I do sometimes over-produce in studio, and will even over-play sometimes... but never on stage. grin;-) Thanks Mark. It's a really good song but it seems trapped in a Silk Degrees production. Thanks Ray, I'll take that as a compliment... Hi bloc-head,
Excellent song - you sure put a lot of work into this number.
Well done
Nigel I did... I guess I got excited. Thanks Nigel Hey Blockhead, this is your best to date
The lyrics are so true - where did common sense go
I liked the production as is; I wouldn't change a thing
Loved it Really... "where did common sense go"? Thanks Mario, glad you liked it...

A extraordinarily fine production, bloc-head. Every piece contributes the right amount of perfect to this really well written song. SO many pieces in there all working perfectly to make this such a strong song that can be listened to time and time again. The lyrics also star in this show. I can't rap either, but, man. I love to listen.

Your songs are in the top tier of songs on this forum. If everyone could be, like me, (grin;-) then we could all agree… (like me)
What a cool world this would be… Excellent lyric!  Fun song - easy to rap my head around that! I thought that lyric would get a laugh. I appreciate the kind & generous words... Thanks David

Great song and great performance by all involved, and a totally pro mix.
Perfect in every way I think, doesn't get much better.
Nice! Dave, thanks for the friendly feedback. Hi Bloc-head,
A very good song, man! Strong intro, swinging and powerful vocals!
Good lyrics as well!
I told you on a former song of you, I got feelings of KC and the sunshine band. Here it was the same.
All the time the background vocals come in it looks alike. They are great.
I agreed with Dave this is very good, can't get any better.
Liked it a lot. Still listening (4th time...)
Hans Hello Hans... I am really glad you liked this song, and thanks for the multiple listens... Also, I appreciate your comments. SO well done from the first note to the last. The production is top-botch, and there is so much goodness going on in there. There are so many styles that it is a song that everyone could enjoy. Reminds me of Doctor John (Mac Rebennack) produced by Quincy Jones. Thanks big time Marti... btw, I love your latest Party song... BH,
Wow! Brilliant music, vocals, mix. Everything shines. Sort of spiced S. Wonder. Enjoyed this a lot.
Thank you for sharing.
Misha. Misha... Thanks for listening, and for your friendly words... Hi bloc-head
sounds wonderful
you know how it works ;-)
Many greetings
Andi ;-) Andi, I think I know how some of it works... Thanks for your nice words. Super song...thematically, lyrically, musically and your performance was so cool! Your diversity in music is very impressive and this is one of your best tunes IMO...and the mix...man that was tight! Hope you can wrap your (bloc)head around that...great stuff! I'm so glad you checked in on this, and thank you for the great feedback.

To whomever played the parts ... we liked all the tracks!  The lead and the harmony sounded excellent as did the entire mix. And tongue in cheek is always good in our book. Enjoyed it, 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
