Classic Blue Attitude through and through.
Chris does an excellent job on the Write and the Vocals.
Marty's Bass - delicious.
Dave's always-delightful guitar work. Both "The Lick" and the Solos - tasty.
Good Drum choice.
Good mix.
Good Music.
fj Appreciate that, floyd, thanks!

Of course, I love this song --even when it was an instrumental called Floydian Storm. But the coolest thing about it for me is seeing how Chris & Dave work so well together. It's almost like one of those time-lapse videos of a flower blooming. It starts with planting the seed when Dave asks Chris, "DO you want to do something with this?" After an enthusiastic reply, it starts to grow through the dirt, then rises to the sky and finally opens to a breathtaking flower. That kind of magic is enthralling to be a part of.

Dave, Marty and Chris...I love "noodles" and that was certainly some of the best I've tasted lately...really cool riff to ride on for sure...Dave your solo guitar work is exceptional again...Marty the bass is transparently there...unnoticeable but guiding the song like a good referee that you don't notice but the game can't go on without...and Christiane's vocal is beautiful, ethereal and haunting...love the vocal effects...five stars! Thanks for the listen and kind words, Dan! Wow, loved the production! From the very beginning with that riff and then right on through - captivating sound. The effects used were fantastic. Everyone involved in this one was right on the money. Oh, and great ending bass lick Marty - great job everyone!
Brad Appreciate that, Brad!

Great atmospheric song, I really like what you guys are doing together.
Great vocals, guitar and bass and a great mix that ties it all together.
Well done! Thanks very much, B.D.! Working with Chris and Marty is a blast, we have lots of fun working on these songs together. MAN, at 1.14 when the solo kicked it - it really KICKED!
I'd been musing on the cool left leaning guitar and then whammo - it was usurped.
The lyrics and melody definitely enhance the intro guitar's moodiness.
Mr Bassman - well it was his sound that set up the image in my scone of the trio playing on stage.
3.24 and that guitar is knocking on doors again.
Christine's floating vocals over the final solo are AMAZING.
Methinks I like it. Wow, thanks Ray! Made my day when I read that. [quote=chulaivet1966] Your comment on the Doors song made me smile, my working title for this song, before we had any lyrics, was A Floydian Storm  Ha.... Cool....I guess you're an old fossil too if you remember The Doors.  Back to it.... I'm definitely a child of the 60's which makes me old, and possibly also fossilized  I remember seeing the Beatles on the Sullivan show back in '64 like it was yesterday, what a game changer that was! And also remember seeing the Doors on that show doing Light my Fire, probably '67 or so I guess. I've got every album they ever did on vinyl. Love their moody tunes especially, Riders on the Storm of course is a classic.

Cool riff in the intro Dave. Love how you mixed it. Super vocal from Chris. Martys lays down a cool groove to the song. The drums were very cool as well. Excellent solo and love the bite in the tone. Well done...

Wow. This would have been really good as an instrumental but Chris' concise lyrics and haunting vocal take it to another level. Each of you is on great form here. Top shelf, team.

Guitars are excellent, as are the vocals - especially the layered bit. Mix and arrangement sounds bit.
Moody and atmospheric - love it!

Pro all the way. If I were to tweak anything here it would be another 4dB on Marty's bass.
Dave, when is PG Music going to record you so the rest of us can utilize your great sound?
I love the whole thing.
Hi Bass Thumper, Thanks for your very kind words, very much appreciated! As far as the mix goes, I always come back to the mix a week or two later after the initial release, I find after not hearing the song for a while I'll often hear things I missed the first time. I haven't done that yet with this one, but I'll pay special attention to the bass when I do that, it's possible it could come up a db or two. Any more than that would affect the balance of the entire mix, and that's a rabbit hole I want to avoid Thanks again, I see you have a new one up, I'll be over shortly to give it a spin. Hi Dave,
I liked this song - excellent guitar playing and good vocals.
Best Regards
Nigel Thanks, Nigel.

Very beautiful mood, really enjoyed the melancholy guitar sound and the theme riff which took me to a dreamy place full of flowers (I'm glad there were wakening flowers in the video also). Marty's bassline is once again something to admire, like the tree of life in this musical paradise. Lovely harmony between all the instruments and vocals, all reaching for the same chi.

What does one say after Ray's comments? He mentioned all of the goodness!
So no need to parse this one out ... ALL of the vocal/instrumental performances are stellar. As is the mix (outstanding drum choice too).
Both the song and the video are simply captivating! As Chulaivet said, it is mesmerizing.
And the images in the video are a perfect fit to the audio and lyric.
Y’all really hit this one out of the park, Dave.
Enjoyed it!

Hi Dave,
Mysterious, a cool rhythm introduced by the guitar, super vocals from Chris, and exiting bass from Marty!
If this is the result of noodling while your wife is watching coocking programs than she must be some coock to let you make this kind of songs.
In a way I am joking, but not on the song. Its just great!
Tell your wife to take a glas rode wijn, and you to and enjoy what you made.
It is a very good one, Dave!!!
Greetings to Chris and Marty,
Hans Thanks very much, Hans! Oh, and we both had a couple of glasses of red wine last night BTW Dave, I also have an unplugged electric next to my recliner. I am a fellow noodler. The drums are a standout here along with the bass and and as always the lead guitar. Chris lays down a good vocal and I thought there was brevity in my lyrics but this one's got me beat. It says what it needs to say so why jumble it up with unnecessary words. excellent mix. I liked it, Tom Hi Tom, Well, Chris can write a complex set of lyrics as good as anyone and better than most. Her genius is that she knows when to keep it simple. For my noodling guitar I use my tele. It's my best sounding electric when played unplugged, and I don't use it much for recording, just the odd rhythm track. Thanks very much for checking out the song, happy you liked it!

This such a great song! It's almost hypnotic. I'm sure I'll be back for at least one more listen ... probably more. Each of you palyed your parts so dang good! Sounds like it just came out of an LA studio.
Take care ...
Alan Thanks for the listen, Alan, and great to see you back here again! Cool riff in the intro Dave. Love how you mixed it. Super vocal from Chris. Marty lays down a cool groove to the song. The drums were very cool as well. Excellent solo and love the bite in the tone. Well done... Appreciate that, Scott! Hi Chris, Marty and Dave

A sort of early 70's feel, (sort of Savoy Brown).
Superb in many ways, lovely vocal, excellent bass, drums are very well done and some beautiful guitar.
Loved it.
