I Used To Relish My Time Alone Been a bit distracted the last few months sorting out issues with an elderly parent. In any event here is a new one about loneliness. I saw that Janne used the tin whistle in his most recent track - it's also featured in this one. Leon - Lyric & Vocal I played some guitar.

Peter & Leon,
another reflective, sombre and excellent song.
Perfect arrangement for the vibe and vocal.
Well done gents.

Cool opening with that tin whistle. Leon, I really like your vocal and the lyrics are always contemplative and relatable. Man, this is a really great idea for a song. You don't know what you got until it's gone, and "I Used To Relish My Time Alone" is such a good twist on that theme. Driving guitar, Peter. Great tone, and the perfect statement. The meaning of the song is heard in every note.

Really nice song and well sung which I've come to expect from you. I thought the song was over and then Don Felder took over and brought it to another level! Well done!

Peter...super track...soulful and contemplative lyrics are set in such a good palate...I really love the transition from the acoustic to the electric...it finalizes the song with a powerful lead and expresses so much emotion...the fade is perfect...well written...well sung...and well produced!

I was also enjoying the song thought it was ending with some really nice harmony when it shifted into third gear. And I just rode the wave of mighty fine picking on home!  Cool song and loved the arrangement guys! Josie

Peter and Leon—
Nice write, nice production, resulting in a really good tune. The tin whistle, which I thought at first was a flute, works really well—nicely melodic within the mix, which I think is sometimes difficult to do. The mix overall sounds really good to me—vocal sits nicely in the mix. Really smooth arrangement—well done! Love that stop at 3:50 and the ending from there on—very creative and well executed. Great job, guys!

Leon - good write. Well sung.
Peter - very nice arrangement/production. Well mixed.
The vocal effect was cool (a doubling effect?)
Loved the ending.

A very creative piece of work musically and lyrically.
Great job !
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2025 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Good song with very interesting lyrics, and I LOVE the break and the guitar solo at the end, that's a very cool idea. I'm a bit undecided about the vocal sound, on one hand it sounds a bit too processed, on the other hand it fits the song. But it doesn't sound bad at all, so it's all good

"I used to dream about the highway
I thought that freedom meant to move
A moving target that was my way
Love was just a chain to be removed"
Wow. Terrific lines that hit home here.
Wishing you the strength to manage all of those issues. Peace.
