Hi Ron,
You've written another really lovely song; lighthearted, very enjoyable, with strong/sweet lyrics, and sung beautifully!
Your lyrical ideas are very strong. I should have mentioned this before, but then again, it's always something that stands out in your songs!
I enjoyed it,
Hans Thanks, Hans. I'm a little biased, but my brother's lyrics are always clever and frequently special. They're why I'm producing songs at all. SO GLAD you enjoyed the tune!

No need to apologize for powerpop! I feel like I'm back in college again. Great song and slick arrangement. And there is nothing wrong with your vocal. Fabulous bridge. I like the introduction of the ooos after the bridge.

Hi Ron,
This is a perfect pop song: good, fun lyrics, a great band and an infectious beat.
The mix and production are first class (I especially enjoyed the guitars panned left and right).

BTW I really enjoyed a comment you posted on Marty's "The Police of Mind":
"I can remember when we could agree to disagree on most any topic. Now, it's all a grimly played game without a winner."
Well said. It pretty much sums up where the world (or some parts of it) is at the moment.
All the best,
Mike

I like the introduction of the ooos after the bridge. Ha! We must have overlapped some years in college for sure. Especially since it took me more than four years to graduate...:) THANKS, Scott!

Ron, no need for any apologies here! Man, everything you post kicks butt! Every instrument is clear and powerful! Powerful Pop/Rock! Great job on the vocals again! You remind me of the sound of the band from that movie "That Thing You Do" which is right down my alley! Great job all around!
Thanks, TB

Thanks, TB Thank you, Torrey. Yeah, I'm a big fan of the Adam Schlesinger/Fountains of Wayne sound, too. RIP...
