A great write! Haunting and sublime.


I love your instrument choices and the levels that you mixed them - that held chord piano just peeking through. And your vocals are spot on.


Great song!

Greg my friend this is your best to date. Everything is spot on! Your instrumentation is perfect for the groove and your vocals. Your lyrics are fantastic!

This is a keeper.

PS - I listened very carefully because I thought high in Hawaii might be something else whistle

The devil made my this that grin

HI Greg,

Was gonna point out the really good lines ... but I'd simply have to report the entire lyric ... every line is a gem!

As others have said ... a wonderful vocal. This is a sit back, close your eyes and smile as you listen song. Fabulous in every way. This is a textbook example of how to write a an excellent song in its entirety. Simply wonderful!

A very surprising beginning. And after that a perfect buildup of the instruments.
Especially the pedal steel guitar works great.
Your vocals are beautiful.

Thanks so much Ember! I don't remember seeing your comments until recently. New there? Or just started checking out the forum? Take care. Greg

Great song construction,lyrics and vocal.
I feel a two bar intro would have helped a little.
Nicely done.

What's not to like...

Thanks so much for the nice review Floyd. As you know, I'm a huge Henley fan and that is a very flattering comparison. Take care. Greg
