Vic,
This is my absolute favorite from you... Love the lyrics, and melody, and your vocal is just great.
Excellent production and mix.
So good!
Bob Vic, bBon took the words i was thinking - almost verbatim as I listened. It's unquestionably my fav from you. Great lyric punctuated with a modern pop country backing. And I sure can relate. The lyric mirrors my growing up years to a near-identical image. This truly is a great song - your best over the many years I've listened to your wonderful songs. Excellent work, Vic! Alan

Hullo Izzy.
Thank you.
Funny you should say that about the juxtaposition of the two words.
I thought about it for a while, at first thinking it sounded odd. Then I got used to the idea and ran with it.

Hi, Vic. Love this! Punchy sound the bops along, catchy chorus, clever title. Does just what a pop song should do.

Hi WaoBand.
I noticed that too. We must have caught some sort of virus.
Thanks for listening and commenting.

Thanks Al. It's funny, but every time somebody says "It's your best yet", I worry about what was wrong with the others. I should relax more.  Vic

Hi David.
I never thought of it as pop but I appreciate your view and train of thought. I’m not good at recognising genres anyway.
Thank you.
Vic.

I'm with you. I can only a song out every month or more.
Memorable chorus and excellent lyrics. Cool band you put together. Love that sound.

Thanks Scott.
I probably think about it for 3 weeks, record it in 1 week and then change it over another week.

Good lyric, we especially like this line:
“Brave astronauts or so we seemed
Flying off to chase our dreams”
The band, vocal and mix all sound nice on our monitors.
Well done and we enjoyed it,
J&B

Thanks J&B I pondered the "astronauts" line as I originally wanted to use " cowboys riding off to chase our dreams" but I thought astronauts flying would be more suited to todays minds. Can't be many of us left that played at cowboys in our youth. Vic.
