Thanks, Brian! You've summed up the central theme that I perceive quite neatly. Having lived in a few big cities, I find them both terrifying and exhilarating. It's that duality that I think is teased out a bit near the end. (Per usual: Not my lyrics)

As always, great vocals, band and mix. And you do that “other stuff” most excellently. Cool! J&B

J&B, THANKS for the listen and sharing your thoughts! Big city life is NOT for everyone. Grew up in mostly small towns, but went to college in downtown Atlanta. As they say, you can take the boy out of the country, BUT...well, you know the rest. smile
