A relentless driving force (in a good way).
enjoyed your response to Kent that included Bono in it.

Cool song. Sometimes left me wondering what it was referring to, but cool images throughout...

As happens so often, Floyd expresses exactly what I feel in a concise way. Lyrics are very engaging but cryptic, and the sound is infectious. Love the way you change the melody as you go through the song but keep the feel that holds it together. You continue to do some awesome stuff!! Take care. Greg


David
Agree with all the above. Enjoyable song.

The main vocal melody and sound remind me of Love My Way by the Psychedelic Furs. Good song & arrangement but a VERY abrupt beginning
The hammering of the hook line could've used some variety but it works well without my quibble.

Thanks Ray. One of the things I did to add variety to the hook was to completely change the melody line of the verse and chorus in the first half of each the second go round, but dropping back to the original melodic line in the last half of each second go round, and then add yet another melodic hook in the rideout.

I will work on the ending when I did a final album mix.

Thanks for the feedback. Very valuable.

I'm all about leaving some dots for the listener to connect. You do this very well. IMHO there's a sweet spot between telling too much and leaving some for the listener.

This one nailed that.

And it's supported by a cool fitting vocal and mix.

Enjoyed it!
