Thanks, Laurent. Much appreciated. I like that synergy thought.

Your voice is perfect for this genre of social commentary and observation. Nice catchy chorus. Fantastic, Well done!!
Thanks, Izzy. I just changed the drums on this one. But since YT won't allow us to swap vidz, it can only be heard on my website, and no one goes there.

Lovely melody with bit of melancholy, but still the message stands tall. Well, I'm not going to lie, the chorus is really catchy smile
Pleasant arrangement and mix. The pedal steel is strong as steel and the bassline tells the final truth.
Great vocals, those harmonies sound really nice.

Janne
Ha, thanks, Janne. Your comments always bring out a wide smile and/or a hearty laugh. Thanks for that too. You get it.

Thanks, Elliott. You also use that major/minor move very effectively.

Yeah, excellent mix: you sit your bass & vocal amongst the band as if they were members from the beginning.
The counter melody section is an ACE and a full hand.
Thank you, Ray. That ending was intended to show the truth masked, and in the end the truth prevailed like the cream rising to the top.

Thank you, Jona. You are definitely in the minority liking that voice. Every band I was in always wanted me to sing something sometime. It sounded okay when I sang along with an acoustic guitar, but when I strapped on the bass... well it really sucked.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Great vocals and we love the counterpoint ending

The wrecking crew is ace as is your bass performance.
Bill’s pedal steel is excellent.

Looking forward to the next song of this trilogy

You’re on a roll!

Marty, the truth is that this is one hell of a song.
Great vocal and lyrics.
Super bass.
Bill did an outstanding job on that pedal steel.
Great mix.

Thanks, David. I'll see Bill tonight to borrow some bongos, and I'll share these comments with him.

Thanks, Janice & Bud. Yeah, Bill did some creative work on this. My guess is YT felt I was getting too popular with almost 30 hits already.

Relevant topic. The deception becomes amplified on social media with the mindless reposting.

I like the band. Your voice is clear and strong. I like sound of the BGVs too.

Excellent tune Marty. Loved the lyric. You hit the nail on the head. Super vocal and loved the groove. The drums and bass were so cool. Pedal steel was a really nice add..

Hi Marty,

I listened to this about 2 weeks ago and thought I'd left a comment here. Obviously not!

Cool and provocative lyricwith the perfect accompaniamnet. That pedal steel was a really nice truth. And your vocal is stand-out!

Gotta agree with the message.

Very nicely done!

Alan
