Your vocal is superb as usual. I especially like how you emphasize "delicate" in the passages.

Great music!

Thanks for all your kind words, Bob. Glad you noticed the delicatness.

Wish I knew how to do a master like that - super vocals and lyrics, all as only you can do it!!!
Enjoyed hearing you do a softer song too,
FAB job,

Carl
Thanks so much, Carl. Hey, if you ever have need for my help, just ask and I'd be honored.

What a wonderful write. Love the backing tracks around your excellent vocal. I love how you wrap your voice around that maj7 chord at the beginning of the verses. Kind of delicate!

This is one my new favorites by you. loved the lead guitar riff. My kind of music.

As always, you have given us a reallly nice listen. One word comes to me about this song, more so than other - comfortable. I just sat back, listened and smiled.

Loved that vocal ending!

Best to you, my friend.

Alan
Thanks, Alan. Man, you are such a fine listener. The maj7 and ending were there to show the delicate nature, and I'm glad it put you back in your easy chair.

LOVELY on all levels.
I assume you've played the bass as it frequently echoes the ends of vocal phrases and is SMOOOOOOOTH.
There's just one though that came to me.....the initial syllable/word "What" is abrupt. I'd be inclined to lengthen it a little and give it a little fade in - not from far down - just enough to give it time.
A minor & negligible suggestion but it did come to me at that point of the song.
FAB.
Thanks a bunch, RAAAAAAY. Yes, I forgot to mention the bass. I like the way you think and that idea you have. You always give great advice and suggestions.

And in the key of Gb, too!
Thanks, Ron. I like the visual I get thinking about nailing delicately.

Enjoy whatever happens!
