You get a very unique sound from your combination of instruments, David.

Live-band sound and original. And a nice enthusiasm in your vocals...

I find myself quoting Floyd a lot these days. I guess he just tends to say it right. The live, raw feel was the first thing that struck me. It works well. Has a little of that Springsteen vibe. Speaking of which, you should check out "The Line" by the boss. Similar subject and extremely well written (a film within a song). You did a really nice job with a really difficult topic David. Really enjoyed it!! Take care. Greg

I'm just extremely thankful that three (possibly four) of the forums most competent musical commenters have posted before me because now I can quote them smile

David, I love the vibe. Your energy shines as does the fact that you thoroughly enjoy creating songs and making music. It's easy to see that you put a great deal of thought into your lyrics. Sophisticated rhyme schemes like those here do not appear by accident. In fact, it made me wonder if you've been working your way through Pat Pattison's "Songwriting Without Boundaries" - it's hard work but it's such a great book to unleash lyrical creativity!

As I listened to this work, you made me think of Jay And The Americans and "Come A Little Bit Closer" - a similar style and the same performance energy!

All the best,
Noel

P.S. "Aztec sun" is a great phrase.

Yep, my thoughts too. If not a de-esser, just roll off the high end a bit. Kinda brittle sounding up there.

"Experiment But Keep it Real!"

Your signature describes you very well. There is a lot of variety in the songs you produce. This style fits you quite well and you seem comfortable. Enjoyed my listen.

I'll respond with more thankful comments when I get back but I really really appreciate the kind feedback. and yes I do need to back off the high end on the vocals. working on that.:) Thanks!!!!

Hello David,

We really dug the lyrics!
Furthermore this song has a very nice Tom Petty feel.
And that sure is a compliment, we think whistle
Well done.

Another clever write that subverts expectations.

I'll echo that the mix seemed a bit bright.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
