This track works on just about every level. Pleasant groove, excellent guitar solo, and admirable consistency in the vox volume levels (something I rarely, if ever, achieve). Are those harmonies recorded live or automated? Ghostgum 
My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile

I really like the wah guitar. Good vocals - especially the harmonies. Love the "dit"s, too! Dave does some tasty playing on the solo!

Very cool tune Marty. Excellent vocal and harmonies. The wah gave the song a cool vibe. Excellent solo Dave. Tone gave the solo a really cool edge to it. Basslines and backtrack were perfect. Well done. Thank you, Scott. Sounds great guys. Sounds like Eric Clapton and Cream.
Thanks, David. Yeah, it's nice to have our own slowhand right here in the forum. Marty
Really nice melodic chorus.
The band is good and I like the expressive vocals.
Dave sounds great on the solo as does your bass.
Top notch work.
Peter Thanks. Peter. Much appreciated. A clever write, nice vocal accompaniment and the backing vocals provide a fuller sound.
Good choice of style. It all fits together nicely. Thanks, AudioTrack. Yeah, I had to change styles for the dreamy bridge.

Hi Marty.
This is really excellent listening.
You've done a super job creating this and putting it together.
The first thing that captured my attention was the syncopated bass line. After that, you'd hooked me and I was with you all the way with 100% attention. Love Dave's contribution, too.
Great stuff!
All the best, Noel

Marty,
NICE!
A clever title. Nicely written.
Good vocals! Terrific harmonies and "extras". (your best, I think)
Great choice of tracks. EXCELLENT mix. Vocals sit perfectly. Ahhhh, that buttery Bass!! Love it!!
Dave shines, of course.
A Terrific Listen! Much enjoyed.
fj Thanks so much, Floyd. Really really appreciated. I like to think the next one will be my best. hehe Marty & Dave,
This is one cool song! My new favorite of yours. Very well composed. So many mood changes, yet listens as a whole. Feels like you put a lot of effort in it. Vocals, bass mix and that crazy good solo makes a very sweet package. Really liked this one. Thank you for sharing.
Misha. Thank you, Misha. Hope to see you next Monday. Fun song! Nice grooves - and I didn't know you can rap - though (alas) only too briefly - too ;-) Dave Bell's solo is wonderful, as some have already said ... your own singing is great - I love the key and mood changes. Great writing - and your infectious enthusiasm carries through in the voice. Great job!!! :-) Thanks, James. I was somewhat inspired by you and your ability for key and chord changes. Catchy little tidbit! Nice job on the vocals.
I usually forget to mention the bottom.....nice bass! Guitar sounds great.
moto Thank you, Moto. We bassists are surely used to folks not even knowing we're there --until we stop playing. hehe Nice tune and interesting lyrics. Nice vocals. Thanks!
Mike B. Thanks, Mike.

OOoo, it's so good!
Marty, what a cool lyric and a powerful lead vocal you have here. We love the tight Beatles sounding harmonies and the wah wah is making Janice smile. (I'll be hearing her wah wah impersonations all day!)
And that hook!
As always, Dave's guitar and your bass are excellent, as is the production and the mix.
Fun video too!
Enjoyed it,
J&B

Marty and Dave,
Fun song! Nice grooves. Nice job on the vocals and Bass. Dave Bell's solo is also wonderful. WahWah Guitar is very effective. The method of modulation is wonderful. Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Thanks, Dan. Putting joy into WHATEVER happens is not always easy --actually sometime downright impossible, but I'm happy to hear you say that. This track works on just about every level. Pleasant groove, excellent guitar solo, and admirable consistency in the vox volume levels (something I rarely, if ever, achieve). Are those harmonies recorded live or automated? Ghostgum Thanks, Brian. Yes, those harmonies were just about the top of my old-man range. And, hey, I never heard any inconsistency in your vocals. Always a pleasure. I really like the wah guitar. Good vocals - especially the harmonies. Love the "dit"s, too! Dave does some tasty playing on the solo! Thanks, David. I really like that wah-wha too. Really good song Marty! Terribly good band and great vocals. Also fine video. Pixabay and Pexels are so nice.
Rob and Anne-Marie Thank you both, Rob and Anne-Marie. I just heard someone who got a copyright claim on YT because of a "royalty-free" pic from pixabay. Still, they usually supply what's needed, although I wish their search engines were better and not designed to take us to a pay site.

Excellent blues, nice title and how nicely it has turned into a complicated relationship song. Really enjoyed your singing, 'oooo' sound very nice. Catchy chorus, interestingly it doesn't sound like normal blues chorus, but it surely works. And then the bridge is even something else, clever moving outside the box. Great instrumentation, on the first listen I thought that Dave was playing that nice solo, and yes he was! The wah wah guitar works very well. Very creative song and video.

Good work. (Good video.)

The chorus is the bread and butter and is pleasing my ears. Great band, especially those forum-musician fellas.

Marty,
Great job on this Marty! Your vocals are excellent! I think that title is a clever use of words! That chorus is catchy for sure! Love that change up with bridge! I didn't have to look at the description to know that the solo was performed by Dave! His style and tone are unmistakable and great! Enjoyed it! Thanks, Torrey

Hi Marty and Dave
How come I missed this song? Till now!
I was puzzling about the title of your song, while watching your very nice video. Then I went to your SoundCloud page and there it was; the title made no sense (your words). Well I wrote there, the song does! And I can add here, the video too (some tiny mistakes in the lyrics, like a missing 'r' in the beginning and 'to' to much 2 times: I'm a son of a teacher...)!
Nice song, very nice harmony and a impressing solo from Dave. The lyrics were both funny and serious and there was a nice link to the images in the video. Well done!
Hans

Good work. (Good video.) Thanks for all that, jptjpjpt. [I am getting so good at typing jptjptjpt so fast ;)] The chorus is the bread and butter and is pleasing my ears. Great band, especially those forum-musician fellas. Thanks, Scott. Dave definitely elevates the worth of these songs.

Hi, Hans. I had abandoned this song on the forum in favor of my newer one, but this morning there are too many comments to let it slide. I hate being the guy with 2 songs on the first page mainly because I actually prefer hearing others. I, too, am normally pedantic about those kinds of things. But I'm a son of a salesman so I learn to make up ways to make things fit. hehe So I've since some to grips with the title by saying, "I think he is saying, 'At least tonight I will see you in the morning, but who knows what tomorrow may bring.'" AND I didn't use a question mark because rhetorical questions don't always need a question mark. Man, Hans, we would have a good time together for sure.
