Hi Dave, Chris and Marty,
You were on my mind in my dark last months and when listening to your song I know why.
I missed this kind of music, vocals and instruments like the lead guitar and the bass.
What a nice song it is!
Though I agree with B.D. on the db's of Chris.
But I also know you wouldn't change anything if you are not convinced, Dave.
and... you're the boss ;-)
I enjoyed your song a lot!
Hans

Great stuff. Sounds professional in all aspects. Chris' vocal is expressive and pleasing. And the guitar is classic Dave. Done good song too. Thanks for that, Scott! Blues full of soul. Very professional sounding song on every measure. The message is very strong and touching, every line is full of meaning.
Really like the mixing of drums. The BIAB instruments create a pleasant mood. Marty's bass sounds better than ever. Dave's guitar playing just keeps amazing me, why is this guy not better known around the world? Chris sings straight from her heart.
Janne Possibly the nicest review we have ever received, thanks, Janne! BA,
A nice Rock write.
Chris' vocals are SO nice.
That Bass!
The Guitars are so good, I almost forgot to "listen" to them. That means - they are perfect. Love the outro.
Drums are crisp and clear (I thought they could use more reverb).
You "do organ" so well.
I thought the chorus needed "chick singers" doing funky stuff.
Good Listening.
Y'all are putting out Great music.
fj Well, when Floyd Jane tells me I need more reverb on the drums I pay attention!  You are right, normally I do add additional reverb instead of just using the 'verb that comes with EZDrummer3, this time I didn't. I've made a note to check the reverb if I decide to upload DistroKid, although these days I mostly care about YouTube and no way to update the mix there unfortunately. Thanks for all!

Dave and Blue Attitude team.
Another neat tune. Solid theme, touching several important social issues. Ace vocals from Chris. Marty's bass sits so perfectly in the mix (I always have trouble with mixing bass). Nice rounded guitar parts by Dave. Mix is super clean. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.
P.S. This reminded me of some tunes by Tanita Tikaram from early albums. Hi Misha, I have never heard of Tanita Tikaram before, don't get out much I guess Listening to her now as I type this, she is great! Thanks for turning me on to her, and for the nice comments about our song. “The measure of a man is in the lives that he's touched and all the good that he's done”
Amen!
That’s such a true lyric, Dave. Maybe we should beam your song into the offices of all the politicians these days.
Chris sounds great, as she always does, and the little bits of hers and your harmony add just the right touches.
Your guitar soars well on this and Marty’s bass is the perfect glue.
The video scenes are quite effective and a good reminder of the needs of so many.
Enjoyed it!
J&B
Thanks you two, and thanks for the comment over on YouTube also  Loved it everyone is at the top of their game.
Great vocals, bass and sizzling guitars.
Peter Cheers, Peter!

Hi BlueAttitude,
Realistic lyrics that invite us not to judge people too quickly based on preconceptions without knowing the difficulties they have encountered in life. The music is superb and fits well with the theme. It’s a gripping song that invites us to think. It's well done and I appreciated it.
Kindly regards

Just loved the mix on the Dave. Boy the drums and Marty really set the groove for this tune. Chris's vocal is superb. Awesome guitar work as well. Loved the bite in guitar tone.
