Hi Dan,

Just a wonderful song! Nice melody, and your vocal never fails to move me.

Love the way you build the intensity towards the end of the song, very effective.

Very much enjoyed smile

This is a lovely song with beautiful vocals.

The arrangement fits the lyric very well.
The “less is more” saying definitely applies here.

It gives a strong feeling of serenity.

We’re sorry for the loss of your cousin.

Excellent song. Lyrically - short and sweet, and uplifting.

Your harmonies are always great. Love the '70s sound.

   Yeah, we're out of here.

Ha! laugh

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

Excellent production as usual, Dan.
I like the delay on your vocal and the lyrics are superbly simple and to the point.

Superior quality. Those two words would suffice for comment on any song you do, Dan. Here you show how flying away is the same as flying back. Very emotional vocal. The harmonies are absolutely breath-taking, and your lead seems the strongest ever. Superior quality throughout. Yeah, we're outta here.


Enjoy whatever happens!

So beautiful and regal. Vocals and harmonies and lyrics are all inspiring. I've come to expect no less form your work. The ending section is to die for--sorry for the choice of words, but it is fitting.
