Lovely write, vocal and arrangement.
The build and the mod are very effective.
David C alluded to the cinematic feel and we certainly agree.
What to say? Just beautiful...

Greg,
So, I accidentally posted the following to the Sutherland Road thread; got thrown by the duplicate threads. But I wanted to make sure I added it here, because this is a lovely song:
"I have nothing more to add to the accolades . . . just a really pretty and chill listen. Love your vox . . . just a stellar, stellar tune. Killer."
My humble regards,
Deej

Oh. My. Word :-)
So moving. I love this kind of track and you did every bit of it justice in every way. What a song. What's the point of analysing and dissecting it when the whole thing just leaves one breathless by the end? None whatsoever, so I won't. Well done.

Hello Greg,
What nice song you made with this one! Even though I haven't heard of that movie you mentioned (Everything, everything) I can imagine what kind of movie that must be, considering your melody and lyrics.
I like this kind of music and especially the very nice vocals in it. So to me you did a very good job on it !
Hans

Beautiful vocal. Beautiful song. I like the bass line. I'm assuming that it's a BIAB track. Thanks so much! Yes, that is a BIAB bass track....use that one a lot....very melodic! Take care. Greg

Once again! This is one of your best ones. Love the write. And your vocals! Always so good!
Like some others, I was a little confused because I thought you posted this before, but I am so glad I went ahead and gave this one a listen!
Great work!

Beautiful song Greg sung from the heart the words say it all.
The change into the chorus is just so uplifting I had to pick up my guitar and play along with you.
Cheers.

Touching and uplifting lyrics - truly an anthem for life.
Great chording, strong chorus, excellent vocals and backing vocals.
The killer solo guitar and organ are highlights of the excellent smooth sounding band, all mixed perfectly.
In my top 10 of this year, no doubt.

I watched the trailer for the movie on rottentomatoes.com before listening to your track and that helped a lot to get the context. Of course I like everything you do and this was no different, a great tune with a lot of good stuff in it. Hard to take a wrong turn with a voice like yours and you steered true with this song. I like this approach and might give it a try someday. Thanks for yet another great listen, Greg! Thanks so much for your very kind words! Much appreciated! Take care. Greg

That is brilliant. If not the best thing on these forums, it's damn close.
Yep... Immediately got a Pink Floyd feel.... The groove fits the subject. I'll go watch the trailer to see... But absolutely, yes I can see it in a movie. That needs to be placed in a library that has a good hit record for placing songs in film and TV.
My goodness was that a great key change going into the solo.
My only nit is that fade. Button it up. Personally I would do a rit ending... Slow it down to a hold. Rit over 1 or 2 measures at best. Let the producer of the show or movie fade if they want but define the ending.
Love this ❤️ song. Thanks so much Herb! You made my day/week/month with your kind review!! Don't know what "rit" is but I get what you're saying, and I have heard recently that sync work is better not to fade. Thanks again! Take care. Greg

Love the Pink Floyd vibe. Solid production all around, and you've got a stellar voice. With the "I wish" sort of lyric, it's exactly what I'd imagine hearing as the end titles roll and a song summarizes the movie. As with most of your songs, I like this one a lot.  THanks so much David! It's always been my dream to have a song play during the closing credits! THanks again! Take care. Greg

Hi Greg, You had me confused for a minute, I thought I reviewed this song yesterday but now I see it's a totally different song I'm a Floyd fan from way back, so yeah, I really like this a lot. I think you could have extended that guitar solo, other than that just an excellent song, really enjoyed it. Thanks Dave! Yeah, I accidentally posted another song that was not titled and had the exact same length. Sorry for the confusion. Digging the stuff you and Chris are doing!! Take care. Greg

Greg,
This was on my list "to listen" for some time now. Such a magical and soothing soundscape. Absolutely beautiful! Had to listen to it twice. I like vocal delay treatment very much. Bass fits like a glove. I wonder was the bass a BIAB track or played? Thank you for sharing!
Misha.

Fantastic song beautifully performed and presented.
Would fit comfortably on a shelf with my Pink Floyd albums.
Best wishes.

Greg,
I always love your writes. High level pro quality. "Comfortable", conversational lyrics, but always interesting, unique (never run-of-the-mill, cliche stuff). In-the-pocket. Always.
Your production on this one is a match for that high-level writing... Sweet! The guitar was icing... And the fade is exactly what a song like this should have (it could have been longer).
And...ah....that vocal!
Excellence abounds.
fj Thanks so much my friend!! Kind words from you mean a lot to me!! Take care. Greg

Top notch, Greg. Superb vocal, thoughtful lyrics and a beautiful melody.
Love the nod to 'Us and Them'.
Regards,
Leon Thanks Leon! Yeah, the Us and Them seem was not intentional but when I had the melody, it cried for the echo! Take care. Greg

Hi Greg,
This is stunning from absolutely every angle.
Your writing is always engaging, always easy on the ears and resonates with emotion. This was every bit a Greg Johnson classic as any of your songs I've heard.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
Regards,
Noel

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
