A little Beatles with a slight touch of the best slower expressive Motown. Nice and classy. At the risk of repetitive redundancy  your vocal and instrumental performances are excellent. And we can add the write and arrangement and mix to that excellence bucket. Enjoyed it! J&B

Love it Torrey!!! I also hear some Beatles, some America, and a whole bunch of great Torrey!!! I think it's the diminished chords that create that old rock feel.....rarely used In modern music. This is a beautiful written, beautifully performed, beautiful song!!!!.....harmonies are PRIMO!! Take care. Greg

Torrey (and Ron) Strong collaboration! Torrey, I am simply amazed at your skills & talents in composing and production. One of my all time favorite bands is ELO, and somehow I get same vibe on some of your tunes. This is probably closest Yet, there were dozens of people who worked on ELO tunes (musicians and engineers) and you are doing it mostly alone. Sounds great! Thank you for sharing. Misha. Thanks Misha! Oddly, I never recall being a very big ELO fan but the Beatles were a different story, who greatly influenced the sound of ELO.

Great song as always from you. It reminds me of a early Beatles song, which is my highest form of praise.
Great Vocals, harmonies, guitar work, chord changes, lyrics, and production. thanks for this one. Thanks Elliott! It would be a futile effort for me to try and do something that doesn't have a little bit of Beatles influence in any of my tunes T

You've just sold one copy of your future album I like your song, and I really dig those vocal harmonies. Great work! Thanks so much! I appreciate the kind words!

Torrey, this is one of if not your best to date. I think that is going to be a great album.
I also got an ELO vibe from this one.
Everything about this one is professional.
You both should be very proud of this one.
Loved it. Thanks Mario! I really appreciate it!

Awesome! One of your best I think.
This fondly reminds me of the Eagles' - New Kid In Town. Both the electric piano as well as the harmonies are done so well. This production once again demonstrates your high level of musical skills and arranging qualities. Particularly since you are playing the instruments mostly yourself!
Rob Thanks Rob for your comments! I appreciate it!

Hi Torrey,
Another good song, well mixed and well sung.
I can understand what you are doing with the ELO style doubled (or similar) vocals but I would like to hear more of the singer and less of the doubled vocals particularly in the verses - just my personal preference.
Best Regards
Nigel
Thanks Nigel for taking the time to listen and comment! I appreciate it!

Torrey,
Had the chance to listen to this a few days or so ago . . . like it then, like it now. You do this stuff so well . . . you are dripping with talent. Love your vocal on this, and the backing vocals just make this so rich. Excellent collaboration, gents! You’ve written one outstanding song!
My very best to you,
Deej

Like others, I got a strong ELO vibe in the beginning, and a touch of Beatles in the chorus.
Solid production all the way through, and of course, the vocals are a treat to listen to. Twinned guitars sound excellent.
I really enjoyed listening to this song. Thanks David! I always appreciate your comments! How can I leave a touch of Beatles out of a track...impossible! T

Hi Torrey ...
Listened to this Monday evening but didn't have time to comment. I'm listening to it again as I type this.
Another vote for ELO. You are a talented man ... your music is always such a pleasure to listen to. Everyone else has already touched out the multiple perfections of this song. I have little else to add. I truly admire the depth and scope of your many talents.
Alan Thanks Alan for the awesome comments! T
