Beautiful melody: verses are very calming with a nice progression and the chorus is catchy
Beautiful arrangement: I like especially the guitars, the rhythm section and the strings in the bridge.
The interpretation is full of heart.
Has very classic hit feel, certainly one of your best songs.

Thanks, Janne. Those "strings" in the bridge are actually me on a fretless bass, unless you mean the synth, which was just playing chords really. Man, I always like your comments, Janne. Thanks for listening.

I'm not a big worrier. Really, the only thing I worry about is Di's health. Now, on the other hand, I concern myself with all that I think is important.

I think folks sometimes confuse worry and and concern as the same thing, but they aren't. Concern is simply putting forth the effort to do what should or must be done. Worry is fretting about it if it doesn't work out as plannned or expected. As I often tell my friends & family, if my effort doesn't work out as intended, I'm not gonna suffer the ulcer of worrying about it. I'll just make an alternative effort or know I tried my best.

Enough of my philosophy! A really great song and listen. Truly enjoyed it!

Alan

Thanks so much, Alan. I can't get enough of your philosophy. It often confirms my beliefs. smile Yes, concern is much different than worry. I'm big on etymology and always strive for the corr3ct word. [typos be dammed] cool

Haha. Thanks, Dan. No, you don't want me live --at least not singing and playing together. I'm always impressed when someone can do that. Hey, wait. I don't play bass in this one. Does this ticket include meals?

Enjoy whatever happens!
