Nicely done Vic. Your vocals and the band do each other justice.
And the lyrics leave us pondering what our confession(s) might be.
Thanks Steve. Mike did good to leave it hanging. Vic

The whole package works well. Melody, instrumentation, vocal, and lyric all fit together and make a good impression on my ears and mind. That's good to know. Thank you sir. Vic

Mr. Thomas.
You cut me deep. Those busy guitars were what initially got me to choose that basic style.
They were a foil to the dark lyrics, I thought, but thank you for your thoughts on it.
Where are you a native of?
Vic Don't worry, as I wrote, I like the song as it is now too   I'm from Germany and I write my lyrics in English. Sometimes that's not a wise decision

Hi, Vic:
Michael writes some great lyrics and it’s good to see a collaboration from him. I’m sure your additions only added to this terrific write. I’m listening to the latest version and it all sounds pretty balanced to me on the mix. On the write, I love the open-ended aspect of this. Some of the best poems and lyrics for me had a story behind the story . . . something unresolved that keeps the reader/listener thinking thereafter. This one does that. I’m torn on whether the tone of the lead guitar fits (e.g., starting at around 1:28) . . . scrolling through no one else mentions it, so likely just a me thing. Excellent tune, Vic—impressive collaboration!
My best to you both,
Deej

Hey Vic...really nice...smart, relatable and well written lyrics...they had a very nice flow inside your excellent melody...I especially like the tempo and the cadence of your vocal...you excel vocally in this groove but then again you composed the melody and it's in your wheelhouse! I always enjoy your productions and style choices! Hi Firesong. Thank you. Much appreciated. Vic

Thanks again B.D.
Yes, I would also find it difficult writing in another language.

Deej Hi Deej. Yes, Mike is imaginative in his writing. He sent me the lyric and said, “Just do your thing on it”. I did think a lot about the guitar part you mentioned. I tried a mandolin and then a fiddle but it sounded too bluegrassy. I wanted that crossover sound. Hence the guitar. Thanks as always. Vic

Haunting song, sort of primitive music, traditional but with a modern touch. The picking guitar and the drums create hypnotic surroundings for the mysterious confession, the soulful vocal carries the story. Other instruments are selected very well, I especially like that solo guitar. Everything is packed into a very pleasant listening experience.

Excellent bit of Americana. Like rayc, I agree it's a bit of a tease not to know what the confession was... And the right choice to leave it out, as well. Good write and presentation.

“I have a lot of yesterdays But my tomorrows wearing thin So there's something i need to say Come up close and lean on in” It had us hooked from the first lines. The eternal optimist Janice decided that he kept the secret to himself. Your melody and vocal fit the lyric so well and we can see the dark room and the deathbed vigil vividly. We enjoyed the band and the fiddle especially. Good collab! J&B
