Usually when you hear the phrase " unintended consequences " it is about something bad. Not necessarily the case.

Great intro, super guitar!
The intro is so important to grab listeners
and too often ignored by songwriters.
This has a strong hook
Such a solid song, has feeling and the execution
and production is top notch
Tommy you're a pro
enjoyed!

Pretty much exactly what I was thinking. Sounds like a hit to me, but then all your songs do!

Great job on this, Tommy! As it was mentioned by others, the hook on this song is truly grabbing. I could imagine hearing this on the radio, no questions asked! Keep up the amazing work, can't wait to hear more from you  ___________________________ Cheers, Deryk

Tom,
Now this is the kind of song I wish I could find on the radio -
a super intro ( so I`m not tempted to fast forward) and with a great hook on the chorus that had me humming along the second time round.
The bonus is in the lyrics - such a neat twist on the familiar and with some really cool lines:
"sit here by the wood stove throwing memories in the coals
I've been Burned so many times Ash is all I know"
Very enjoyable music!
Robert

Hi Tom,
Clicking onto one of your songs is like tuning into a radio station that doesn't exist but sure as hell should. We could listen to a station playing your songs all day - and probably all night, too.
As everyone has already commented, your intro is an instant attention grabber. This sounds as professional as anything we've heard here and a lot of other places. The play on words with "wrong turn" and "wrong way home" meld perfectly for the story in the lyric.
The arrangement is thoughtfully structured with lots of variety, yet keeping everything perfectly melded. Plainly stated, this is damned good music!
Thanks for a great listen.
Alan & Di

Kenny, I have always been a sucker for a signature lick. Think of all the great songs that you can identify immediately from the opening guitar part. Thanks for all the generous comments. They are appreciated. Tom Great intro, super guitar!

"late at night I’d have a thought life is better shared
Once again I laughed it off as if I didn’t care"
Nice.
And, already mentioned...
"sit here by the wood stove throwing memories in the coals
I've been Burned so many times Ash is all I know"
Consistently excellent. Write, vocals, mix. Nice guitar licks.
Super, super, super. Top-notch all around. (Think I'll just copy this for the next song...)

"sit here by the wood stove throwing memories in the coals"
What a killer line...could've been throwing letters or photos in the coals or could just have been letting thoughts flow into the coals.
And that is one line of so many fine ones. Everybody has mentioned the super effective hook and, yep, man is it ever.
The whole production is tightly glued together with your engineering skills. The loops, RT's, your acoustic/electric guitars all sound like a group of tight studio artists.
And the vocal, Tom you are stretching out more vocally with each production and it is working big time. Nothing really left to say other than "keep 'em coming!"
