Vivid imagery that had us seeing the knight in shining armor updated to a knight in leather on his Harley.

The lovely vocal arrangement made us feel the melancholy of the California dream being just a dream.
This one again reminds us of Daniel Lanois productions.
The song breathes so well.
Love the baritone guitar and that pedal steel so well captures the narrative's vibe.
The mix you wrapped it all in is excellent ... that bass cuts perfectly as does the snare.
Also thanks for the production info.
Terrific,
J&B
