Hello, Peter
Very excellent Song. Verse, Bridge and Chorus are very well constructed. All parts have good melodies respectively. Guitar solo work is so good. And vocal is also great. Very enjoyable listen.
Best Regards.
Shigeki Adachi Shigeki Thank you very much for the nice review. Much appreciated. Peter

A cautionary tale, indeed and a fine write to tell it.
This tune has a very engaging arrangement with the build and different feels...particularly the end of the solo.
J&B
I agree! The guitar and vocal are really good. I liked it a lot. Tom Thanks for the comments Tom. Peter

Peter and Leon, I went to a wedding once in the 1980's, and an extremely short marriage, when the bride *ahem* was the female in your song. We were on the groom's side and it only became funny many years later. A cautionary tale indeed A great solo as I have become to expect from you Wonderful vocals and lyrics Keep on producing these masterpieces Alyn Alyn Thanks for the review the story and the nice comments. Much appreciated. Peter

Beautifully done guys! Such a nice fullness in the choruses (with that organ). Good vocals, lyrics and a nice and bright mix.
Rob & Anne-Marie Rob & Anne-Marie Much appreciated. Peter

Really enjoyed this. Great lyrics which tell the tale perfectly!
The songs builds really well and I also enjoyed your guitar solos.
Good job, Jez Thanks a lot. Peter

Like the organ on this one - that and the story of course!
Was a bit surprised at how quickly the piece develops (musically speaking).

Peter & Leon...
One of my favorites of your. A solid, interesting write with a good, singable melody....
Nice arrangement and production...good vocals, nice solo... good mix...
I enjoyed this. I like how you brought it back to "sparse" for the repeat of the first verse. I thought that would have made a good ending - just repeat the first half and end on "her charm..." at 3:36.
Another strong offering from you two.
fj Could not agree more!! This is excellent. This is a little more folky than your usual Peter. "Singable" as Floyd said. Some really interesting lyrics. Great stuff!! Take care. Greg Thanks Greg Peter

Peter and Leon, I really like this. It's outstanding musically and lyrically. As the song progressed, I found myself completely hooked by the lyrics. They sit incredibly well on top of the musical rhythm... first class prosody. What stood out to me? - An interesting and effective introduction.
- I have never ever come across the word "unselfconscious" in a song before.
- I don't think I've heard Aphrodite in lyrics before, either.
- The chord sequence that begins with a minor sound on "If" in "But if you have a friend..." in the transitional bridge section is a perfect fit.
- I thought that twisting the concept of "friend" worked really well.
- I loved the musical flow of the internal rhyme sin/skin/skin.
- Great guitar playing.
- These lines really appealed to me...
We spend a whole lot longer underground than up here breathing Denial wasn’t in her alphabet - By the end of the song, I couldn't believe how quickly those 5 minutes had passed.
I bet that when this is played live, the audience is in the proverbial 'palm of your hand'; they'd be captivated by the (im)moral of the story. As I hear it, this is really clever writing! All the best, Noel Noel thanks for the encouraging comprehensive review. Leon is however Noel spelt backwards but I'm assuming it's you! Peter

That lyrical story made me laugh. Love the satirical wit. Vocal fit perfectly. Cool production and guitars. I agree with FJ about coming back to the soft part and ending with it. Fun song.
