Can't get the link to start the song  Try with a different device. It's a streaming platform so it should work. Let me know if you can't get it to play and I can send you the mp3 by email..... this is a WAV file but should stream

Great pop song! Super groove, cool riff and the chorus is very catchy. I like those guitars.
What an exceptionally good mix, so airy and yet very tight.
Maybe I missed some dirty edge in Solaria's voice, but I love that softness and you have found the perfect vocal range.

Hi Herb
Hope you are well
Cool song
Really well mixed
The vocals are really great - you've got that well under control
Good idea to use distorted guitars
It's fun to listen to this song
Great work Herb

Janne Hey thanks for coming to have a listen. I'm still working on how to get the vocals to do certain things. I'm glad you like the mix.

Hi Herb.
I really enjoyed this song and it's production. Great song writing, Catchy melody and fabulous arrangement.
Great work, I'm looking forward to hearing more of your work.
JD
Songwriting punctuates our lives. It is alchemy, turning pain into gold.
Songs choose their composers when they enter the world.
I try to remain open and ready.
