I really like how the song develops. Especially those background vocals.
As always, the solo is played so well by Dave. He and you are a very good team.
I heard it some days ago on YouTube, but I almost sang along now; "somewhere in the world"
Still difficult to see where such a place could be...
Not here anyway.

Thanks, Hans. I'm very grateful for all your help along the way.

Groovy and funky band. Love that last "world" harmony vocal.
I like the sentiment in this song.
What the heck is "the merl'? Are you being Shakespeare? smile
Thanks, Scott. Yeah, it was supposed to be a fade, but I like how that last harmony chord sounded. The merl is a bird --in the song to hint at the idea that God takes care of the birds, so... The important part is that it rhymed with world.

Enjoyable melody, pleasant band and vocals - the harmonies in the last section sound great! And who could be better to tell about this world with a guitar than master Dave.

BTW. yes, I'm one of your very happy Spotify followers, should be a fastly growing number if there is any justice somewhere in the world (you don't find my music on Spotify, sorry about that, but maybe some day somewhere in the world when I have nothing else to do...)
Ah, The innate search, The Holy Grail, Eden. Just a dangleing carrot I suppose. Janne, I'm thrilled that you take the time to listen. Yeah, that kind of justice requires promo funding, so I'm out. This way I can say I know each and every one of my followers. wink

The highlights are you & him of course but the band is really well curated.
COOOOL.
Thanks, Ray. You come to mind so often while I'm making these. Thanks for the guidance.

Fortunately, I have been able to meet good vocalists, pianists, and lyricists, and have been able to continue creating music.
I'm really grateful to them.
I think you and Dave are really compatible.
It's clear that each piece is the work of two people who truly understand each other.
This work is no exception.
The teamwork between the two is amazing.
Also, as always, the video is great.
Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.

Best regards.

Totally agree with you, Shigeki. Yes, you have some wonderfully talented friends, and thanks for recognizing how important Dave is to me.


Enjoy whatever happens!
