We just had 100 days of no rain here in SW Florida. Then the sky opened up and sent us an astounding 20 inches of rain in three days. I almost drowned my truck trying to escape one of the islands. I’ve lived here for 35 years and never seen anything like this. Unfortunately this may be the new normal. So here’s a brand new one.

Hi Tom.
Fabulous!
Thought it was Bon Jovi when I heard the intro.
A startlingly good mix - a big, BIG, sound and just the right reverb washing over it.
Great story, great guitar, great vocals.
What's not to like?

Nice intro, you caught my attention right away with that. Good story, performance, and mix.
I always enjoy hearing your music, always so well written with such a pro sound!
Weather is totally out of whack up this way too, *way* more rain than normal.

"There's a lot to like about this song and I like them all. From the opening guitar intro through the great vocal sound of the way you phrase "ch-a-eee-n-ge". You nailed it.
Killer vocals, killer lyrics, mix, arrangement and production. Top notch at every level.
This one is enjoyable from start to finish."
Your friend,
Tim McGraw
(That's what I think he'd say if he heard this song...... Might add he's taking to his next recording session as well..... It's that good. )

Very cool tone. Loved the jangly guitars in the intro.
Super vocal and excellent lyric. We are having the exact opposite up here in Northern Canada. Raining everyday. Ground is just so over saturated. I agree that this is the new normal. Weather storms becoming more intense. Kind of gets you thinking....

"maybe we prayed a little too hard for rain"
Great line to write a song around.
Everything up to the high standard that you have been setting for quite some time now - the write, the production, the vocal, the geetar... love those drums...
A "sneaky catchy" song - as many of yours are... they stick in your head without even realizing they will.... I hear them hours later...
You are a pro, Tom.
(we get the same weather... though often a few hours later... what a dry spell! and now we are worrying about when this rain will end...)

When the guitar sings a magnetic opening groove, and you're saying "WOW", you know it's another Tommyad classic!! Grabs you from the first moment and never lets you down. Fun, clever, and so well constructed, played, arranged. That's about as high as I've ever heard you on the lead vocal Tom. Just a great song in every way!! Every year, when Winter ends, I always find myself feeling like it's too soon. After all the rain this year, driving blind with rain hammering the windshield a half dozen times, I was happy to have an end to it. But, may find myself begging for rain in another year. Crazy times! Take care. Greg

Tom,
Outstanding! I can't say enough good things about this one... Great melody, guitar, RTs, and stellar vocal.
BTW, this is an absolutely great line: "maybe we prayed a little too hard for rain".
It does not get better than this...
Bob

Yep...

Tom, man those guitars sound great! The tag line in the chorus is fantastic! A very original sounding piece of music with your signature "great mix sound". This is another good one. Thanks, Torrey.

Thanks for sharing Tommy! You nailed the intro on this, grabs you by the face right away. The production is on point as well, you utilized just the right amount of reverb. Not mention A+ on the vocals! One word for the whole song I'd use to describe it would be "attention grabbing." Great song, you should be proud of this one!

Very pleasant listening.
Excellent lyrics.
Also where I live here in Italy we have those climatic events.
Just yesterday after 35°/36° - air humidity 50 %, a heavy rain suddenly.
Never seen just 10 years ago.

"Maybe we prayed a little too hard for rain."
Classic!
Sorry to hear about your deluge man, but it sure did produce a great song.
Very, very tight production, excellent lyrics and production.
Another excellent work.
