Peter, you did the right thing to edit the lyrics. I believe one of the most important parts of lyric writing is editing. Sometimes even just a word here or there makes all the difference. Leon this doesn’t mean to take away from a fine lyric. It just made it a little better. Well sung and some nice complimentary guitar work in the end. I enjoyed it, Tom

Thanks Scott

Nicely done - pleasant listen, well sung. Vocal was a good match to the contemplative lyric.

Editing a song down is a tough, and you did a good job here. As Tommy said, it's not to take away from the lyricist.

Sort of ironic, given the title of the song, right?

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

( somehow missed this one all the time )

I think it's a good song, I enjoyed listening to it, and although it's still not short by any means, it never got boring. Good job by all involved.

The backing is well suited to the song and the closing guitar is sweet.
A nice capture and processing of the vocal too.
A very enjoyable listen.

This is beautiful!

Janice said that the melancholy melody and Leon’s heartfelt vocal got her from the start.

The arrangement has a very effective build and the accordion fits the mood.
And you are always excellent with your builds.

Peter, that solo was perfect! Yeah you played some guitar ... what an understatement! smile

“Give it long enough, my dear
And it all just disappears”

The above line stands out amongst many fine ones.

It seems to us that the omitted lyric could be the start of another fine song!

Outstanding,

J&B

Nicely done guys. I especially like the lyrics and the outro.
Very enjoyable.

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.
