Nice band.
Your vocal has some nice qualities but you need some de-essing and to soften or adjust some of your final syllables - road comes across as "roadt" and with comes across as "wid".
These things aren't terrible but addressing them will improve the end result.
Lovely Bvox by the way.

Hi Jonathan
Nice song
Well sung
Sounds really good
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Nice work. I really like that one.

Since I don't see any piano track listed I'll assume you are playing it live. Would that be correct?

This is just a production issue but I would replace the resonator guitar in the intro with the piano. I really like that piano track when you brought it in. It just fit and worked so much better than the Dobro.

Vox.... Really well done.

Nice work.

Nice write, Jonathan. Good band too. I really like the build. The harmony build is really interesting, which soon becomes captivating. Really good mix, too. Everything is crystal clear without stepping on anything else. I dig that piano solo, and notice you don't give credit in the post. Is that you?

Thank you of your comments! Yes i know that my english needs more practice.. but thanks of the advice..

Kindly Jona

Jona, this is really good.

I like the backing tracks

Great vocal and harmonies

Loved the lyrics and the piano lead

Two thumbs up

Thank you!
I'm glad to hear that you like it Andi!

Jona

Jona,
you could edit to remove the "t" sound from road in your DAW.
It's not really a matter of English as a Second or Third Language - in fact it's a common enough pronunciation.
The sibilant stuff, the esses, could be reduced with a de-esser or careful volume automation, again, in your DAW.

Jonathon,

Nice song.

Good vocals. Good use of BIAB.
Nice background vocals, too.
Jukka plays some very nice piano...

Nicely mixed.

Well done.

I love the smooth flowing sound of this track! Great vocals! I also really like that compressed sound of the music bed, it makes the acoustic
guitars have such a smooth sound! Gabriela's backing vox are super, they really elevate the track to a higher place! Enjoyed it!

Thanks, Torrey

Really nice to hear that you like it Mario!!

Jona

Really nice song!
We especially like the harmonies.
Good work.

Rob and Anne-Marie

JONA,

Real moody, resonant tune . . . the loneliness echoes with each note. Nice mix and arrangement, compelling vocal . . . and, boy, I really love that harmony you have going with the female vocalist. Sweet! This one falls easy on the ears.

All my best,

Deej

Thank you Floyd of your comment!

And succesful career as a guitarist. Well known in europe and cult guitarist fans in 70-80-s in USA.

We like the feeling of serenity we get from this song.

Your vocal has a rich timbre and Gabriella sounds excellent with you.

Jukka’s piano, as noted by others, is very lovely.
Timo’s bass is excellent in play and tone and your organ sits in very well.

The RT’s blend nicely with the band’s performances.

I’m sure it would be a treat to hear your trio live in a club!

I like the opposition of the bright, pleasant instrumentation and the haunting melody,

Good vocal. Love the harmony!

Hey Jona,
I really liked this one. It skips along nicely.
After the 1st verse I was thinking "I hope there is a solo coming up" and sure enough there it was.

Nice job indeed.
