Great song Torrey!

All of your songs are so uplifting, and they all have a very classic sound reminiscent of the super bands back in the day.

Torrey,

Stellar stuff . . . sounds like it’s right out of the 70’s . . . has a Joe Jackson live for me. Wonderful harmonies and backing vocals here. Terrific tune . . . but then you always do excellent work and this is no exception. Wonderful!

All my best to you,

Deej

Looks like I missed this the first time around.

A cool '70s intro. The verses are good, but the chorus (and harmonies) are what make the song for me.

Those drum really pop!

Love the upbeat message and feel.

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

It gives it a sorta “Motown lite” feel.

It’s a great arrangement and mix to go with the uplifting message ...
and your very fine vocal and instrumental performances.

We’re happy to hear about your continued progress!

Thanks J&B! You are such an inspiration to all of us here! TB

What a song and what a production! Gosh Torrey this is just fantastic. It's like getting hit by a perfectly placed wave of sound coming at you all the way through the song. There's so much happening and it all sounds great. You are a fantastic writer, and the way you perform your productions are stellar. I love your topics. Never stop! Keep 'em comin', I can't get enough!

Brad

The chorus is irresistible, accentuated by those lush harmonies. You hit the Motown sound right on.
