Coincidentally we were watching some old Jefferson Airplane clips last night. This took us back to it in a good way. Grace and Christiane -- two great contraltos! Your guitar, Marty's bass and you two's vocal bits sounded excellent. You and Kathy nailed it with the write ... we have similar discussions but unfortunately they don't result in a great song  The dove flying into the fire made the vid for us! Great song, J&B

Brilliant work by all concerned. Great to hear Chris' amazing pipes again, just wish 'broken world' didn't seem so apt.
Regards,
Leon

Excellent tune Dave. Kudos to you and your wife. An awesome song is born. Chris's vocal was perfect. Well done on the harmonies as well. Guitar was nasty. Marty's walking bassline laid down such a cool groove to the song. Video was excellent as well. Well done.. Thanks for checking out the song and the video, Scott, happy you liked it! This is an exceptional production...the music is pristine in it's production quality...it is a beautiful, thoughtful and relevant lyric, well crafted...Christiane's vocal is captivating and so appropriate for the style, just beautiful...as usual Dave, you and Marty have seamlessly joined the players in BiaB to form a great band and as usual the video is so well suited to the song and adds to the powerful effect and message...so well done! Working with Marty is a pleasure, and always great when we can get Chris to join us. Thanks very much for the kind words, very much appreciated!

Ah, Dave, you KNOW how much I love this song, and you and Kathy make a great team. A lot of my friends agree with Janice & Bud about the Grace Slick/Jefferson Airplane comparison, and I always pick Christiane as my favorite.
Thanks to all who mentioned my small contribution. It's always nice to hear someone like the results of me doing something I love. Kepp 'em coming, Dave. I like how you changed the mix based on the great comments here.

BlueAttitude:
Outstanding work by all involved. Thoughtful write with cool rock/blues influence. Christian’s lead vocal is beyond stellar—excellent. And I really like those harmonies in the chorus—well-done by both you and Marty. Killer lead guitar solo and licks. In short, impressive tune!
My best to you all,
Deej

It's great when all the pieces of a song work so well, like it does here! Vocals, lyrics, guitar and arrangement sound great, and the mix is solid as well. As floyd jane says, simple and to the point - pounds in the chorus like a pop song should. Thanks for the kind words, David! Dave, Kathy, Christiane & Marty
Great work - excellent topical song beautifully crafted.
All the parts come together so well including the well done video.
Great vocal bass & guitar.
Top class pro work.
Peter
Really appreciate that, Peter, thanks! Blue Attitude team + Kathy
A well delivered message!
This says it all:
"If war is the answer,
what was the question?
Chris done a great job on vocals and video. Dave, cool lead / Wah guitars. Marty perfect bass and BGV (maybe slightly louder). Neat harmonies. Clear mix, smooth listen. Well done! Thank you for sharing.
Misha.
I agree about Marty's BGV, not sure why I had him so low. I've bumped him up a bit, also moved him a bit closer to center. New mix in the RN link, can't change the audio in the video without deleting the video and uploading a new one unfortunately. Thanks, Misha!

So sad to still have to write songs about war. This is certainly a good one on every level.
Josie You are right about that, Josie! Thanks for stopping by The angry wah & lead blend really well - particularly the angrier wah stabs.
You've a team that seems to create excellent tunes as a matter of course.
As fj wrote simple but not simplistic.
Every one is in fine form and making music that make sense and a message that shames us all. Chris and I have worked together since 2015, and sometimes it seems like Marty and I have worked together forever. Good chemistry I guess! Thanks, Ray. What a great production and song. Lovely voice. Appreciate that, thanks!

That is one good song. It me bobbing my head to the groove.
The vocal and guitars make this already excellent composition soar.

Hi Dave, Kathy, Christiane and Marty...
This is super extraordinary.
The sound is absolutely stunning. From start to end, nothing but first class everything!
These lyrics are right on point, too. Incredibly powerful.
You've all done a truly brilliant job creating this.
The video is the icing on a really fine cake.
All the best,
Noel
Hey Noel, great to see you! Thanks for the positive comments, and checking out the video. Hey Y'all, great song, with a retro vibe. Very timely! When you are old, retro comes easy  Thanks! Great songwriting and performances by all...
Excellent arrangement too.
My only criticism would be; maybe too much Vocal & Lead Reverb... sounds a little too wet to me.
Very cool Song/Production... Happy you liked the song and performances

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.

Outstanding song in every way!
Music, guitars, vocals and video.
Let's hope for the dove!
Rob and Anne-Marie Thanks, Rob and Anne-Marie! Dave, Kathy, Christiane and Marty, you all should be very proud of this one!
Everything is top shelf perfect
Great vocal, outstanding lyrics.
The guitar and bass parts were fantastic.
The mix was spot on.
I agree about the Starship comment.
Loved it!
Never heard much Starship to be honest, listened to lots of Airplane back in the day though. Thanks, Mario!

Strong and sad message, world is broken, unfortunately, and there's only bigger guns in the horizon.
Excellent guitar sounds. Enjoyable guitar and bass playing. Chris has strong passion in her voice once again, the backing vocals are also good. All instruments work nicely together.
Janne Thanks for checking out the song, Janne! Coincidentally we were watching some old Jefferson Airplane clips last night. This took us back to it in a good way. Grace and Christiane -- two great contraltos! Your guitar, Marty's bass and you two's vocal bits sounded excellent. You and Kathy nailed it with the write ... we have similar discussions but unfortunately they don't result in a great song The dove flying into the fire made the vid for us! Great song, J&B Most of the write, and certainly the idea, was from Kathy. Thanks, guys!
