Thanks, Tom. Thankfully it's not about me, but empathy and mirror neurons help me bring out the feelings of others I know.

That guitar, I'll start with it, because wow. It cries, in your hands, Dave.

Then there's Marty, singing and playing bass and writing music and lyrics as if it was the most natural thing in the world. It probably is, for him.

Together, you've created a small masterpiece. The lyrics stand out and suit the music so well ... dark, broody, brilliant. Loved it all ... wanna listen again smile Hats off, gentlemen.
Thanks, James. Yeah, don't ya just love how Dave can wring out such anguish by doing what he loves. I truly appreciate your kind words, James.

There's much pain in the lyrics, but I can safely drown in the hurt by listening to this excellent blues. Very touching.
Excellent band, Dave's guitar is most emotional ever and so is your voice - every word bleeds.
There's simply nothing here that needs changing, lyrics, melody, chords, playing, singing, arrangement, mix, all are of the highest quality. The song is a masterpiece and should become a blues standard.
And back to listen to it for one more time...

Thanks, Janne. I like your "safely drown" apprach to enjoyment. Dave and I both got into this for sure. Ha, I can imagine you walking through the mire now, singing what comes to mind.
