The change for the third verse is perfectly timed. Nice song, all your elements worked really well and brought the BIAB components to life. I can imagine that outro solo building and building in a live setting. Cool stuff.

Very nice Peter and Leon!
Nice harmonics to start things off.
Always enjoy Leon's lyrics and vocal, also really like your vocal contributions on this one.
Tasteful leads and I like your tone too, a little less distortion than you normally use I think.
A good listen!

Peter & Leon,
A nice write.
Nice arrangement. The simpler middle section is a nice touch. Works well.
A really good mix. The bass is nice and punchy, with good definition. The drums are crisp and clear. The acoustic is at a good level to allow the vocals to sit where they should...
Enjoyed the listen.

Peter & Leon,
Doctor’s telling me I might be too tightly wound Couldn’t hurt to stop and have a look around
I like that message and the slightly sardonic way Leon sounds singing them.A little Dylanesque to my hearing. The strummed guitar carries the relaxed rocking feel. Really good intro & outro accents and solo also. Taking it down a notch is working well!

Great work Peter and Leon! I found this quite immersive and the switch up in the later half of the song works very well! Thanks for sharing!

Nice work on this one ![smile smile](/forums/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif) Love the progressions, and the vocals were a standout to me. A solid throwback to a classic country style. I loved the switch up on the last verse too. Kept it sounding really fresh and engaging. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Deryk

Cool song. I particularly like the chorus. Your guitar playing fits well with the lyrics, a nice mellow feel.

I liked the vocals most of all, reminds me of someone, maybe Jim Seals of Seals and Crofts. Good work on the song and its production.
