Scott...well that's not country...much better...I really liked the piano as the main instrument here and the note pattern...I liked the emphasis on the hook (the repeats)...your vocals were excellent...I do wish the harmonies were up a bit...I loved those lines...I still hear Neil Diamond every time you sing...I really enjoyed it!

Ezekiel, what a powerful song!
Loved that piano and that ultra exceptional vocal.
I thought the mix was perfect.
You should be very proud of this one.

Good arrangement all round.
Piano was a good choice too.
Harmony vocals would add impact in the chorus.

Man, those strong emotive vocals grab you and don’t let go!
The wrecking crew (and your fine mix) offered great support for your performance.
The drive of those tracks matches the lyric excellently. Strong drums too.
Arrangement wise the build is very effective.
We loved the abrupt ending that matches the end of the relationship.
Kudos!

This is a really moving song, Ezekiel! Great job with the lyrics, vocals, and production. I especially like the surprise echo vocals before the last chorus. Time well spent in the studio I'd say!
Dewey Thanks a bunch, Dewey!

LOVE your song, great and emotional storytelling (it pretty much sums up my first marriage) and your vocals really ROCK.
My new favorite of yours! Thanks, B.D. I hope you are faring better now than you were with the first one.

Hi Scott.
This song mesmerised me. I was really caught up in the lyrics, the production and the vocals.
On every level, this is a brilliant creation.
You have done a superb job.
By the way, I disagree with you. This is "all the way listenable". There is nothing "half" about it.
All the best,
--Noel Noel, I appreciate the kind assessment.

Ezekiel, that's epic. Loved the way the song builds in energy right through to the end. Not easy to do on a long song! Nicely done! Thanks, DC Ron. Stay safe in the Beltway.

Funny, Scott. I listened ALL THE WAY, and loved it all. I like how the melody builds with the chords. Ah, The Wrecking Crew. You called in the best band. I like the dynamics you use in this, and the counterpoint reply "I'm not coming home." Perfect ending to that line too. You add "tonight" as if it's an afterthought, which means that it's not over --yet. Thank you, Marty. You are a wise and perceptive man.

Ezekiel's Storm,
The piano dominates the overall image of this song.
It's working very effectively.
When you put your vocals on top of that, it becomes a great piece of work.
Although it has a somewhat dark tone, it definitely appeals to the listeners as a wonderful pop song.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Thanks, Dan. The Diamond similarity must emanate from the baritone register.

Really nice intro Scott. Piano wrapping your vocal was perfect. Powerful vocal. Loved how you mixed the drums especially the kick. Well done

Scott,
I've never heard you do a bad sounding song! This is a lovely sounding piece with a great vocal delivery on it! ( your vocals are always very good) Really like the Christopher Cross sounding chord progression going on its beautiful! I feel it's one of your best songs!
Thanks, T
