Everything that I wanted to say already has been said.

All I can add is I loved both the song and the message. I was just watching the news about the Texas church shootings so the "I like to walk across the street Without a gun aimed at my head" lines really hit home.

Two big thumbs up!


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful song.


Thanks for the kind comments Ember.

The production is great - such a cool build when the drums come in.
I was hoping for a bazing guitar solo and you didn`t disappoint!
Excellent work from both of you.

The drums with deep reverb that enters from the middle is wonderful.

I think this is a classic example of that. A fine vocal and melody and a scorching guitar solo all add up to keep you hooked from the get go to the end. It really serves to focus one even more on the message.

This is some very strong stuff you guys have going here. And the spot on arrangement and mix ices the cake (great drum sound).

The drums are just right.

An excellent listen. Well done!

Peter, I really like this! For me the feel of a song is everything. I feel this one from the top of my head to the soles of my feet. Wonderful production. That intro had me from the first note.

I really liked that one Peter!! Great song with a very impactful message! The heavy reverb on the drums in my opinion really is a good choice and the guitar work in the last third of the song really carries it home! Thanks, Torrey
