Scott, "not much of a song"?
I disagree. I think this is a monster of a song!
Brilliant lyrics and a fantastic vocal.
Great blend.
IMHO this is one of your best to date.

Hi, Scott. Strong country intro. Nice sound. Not a fan of the lyrics? Well, every song you wrote is 1000% better than every song I didn't get around to writing, so there!

Scott,
A very interesting lyric.
Good production.
Good vocals. Clear, crisp.
Good mix.
Sometimes I wasn't sure what she was running for or from. But I enjoyed trying to figure it out.
fj Thanks, Floyd. I'm always glad to receive your feedback. Powerful vocal Scott. Loved this tune. Excellent lyric. Very cool backing band. Well done.. Thanks, Scott. I appreciate it. Scott,
Interesting lyric with a bit od mystery in it. You chose a very good band - maybe give them a small raise for the great work??!! Strong vocal! pretty dang good for "not much of a song".
Merry Christmas.
Alan Merry Christmas, Alan! Thank you.

We really like this phrase:
“When she begins to epitomize
The cinematic lover with tortured eyes”
The drums are great as they made Janice think of her running away literally.
Actually the whole band is standout. The piano and solo are captivating.
Your vocal is great and we love the way you sustained the word “she.”
The bridge lyric is like a grown up fairy tale.
Enjoyed it!

Good song, great 'slice of life' lyrics, and good vocal as always Thanks so much! Interesting combination, a dark story with a light pop arrangement and then the nice bridge part which reminds me of early Genesis. Picturesque lines like "morning doubt sets in her eyes" and "no gravity left to defy".
Your laidback vocals fit perfectly with the mood. That Brent solo is well chosen, not too dominating, but still feels like the backbone of the song. Your 'not much of a song' is of course much better than the average songs by a contemporary hit artist.
Janne Thanks for the positive feedback, Janne. Very interesting lyrics, Scott. I like it. Paul, thanks. Glad you liked it. Hi Scott
Cool song
Great songwriting and good melody
Very well sung
Excellent production
Andi ;-) Andi, good to hear from you. Thanks!

Scott,
You say "not much of a song" but I disagree. I think it's fine tune that you delivered a nice vocal on! The guitar solo you chose is a great fit! It doesn't have a conventional type chorus but works very well as is! Enjoyed it! TB

Scott,
Cool song!
It's a country-style song, but the chord progression and melody are full of your originality.
I can see the ingenuity in the B part in particular.
The tasteful vocals and instrument selection are wonderful.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
