This may be your best vocal to date. Excellent song. Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer. It's called the Heineken Maneuver. 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Brilliant lyrics and the music is the perfect compliment. In addition, probably, if not your best vocal ever. Nicely done sir. You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

"Now I’m trapped inside a burning world That used to hold my dreams And I know that all our secret wounds Are deeper than they seem Is it something I allowed one time When I turned the other way I cannot speak my answer though Cause I don’t know what to say" O.M.G. That would be enough to label this "great". But, then....to follow with this: "I am not ready to surrender To my anger and my pain So I am praying for something But I do not know it’s name" Jaw. Drop. I am SO glad you did this in a true-David-Snyder voice. Your best vocal ever. This is great song writing. I do not say that lightly. I can give you no compliment higher than... I would be proud to have written this. WOW. fj 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

This is such a poignant, thoughtful and emotion provoking song. It reminds me of "The Answer is Blowing in the Wind", only, I say in sincere honesty better. Thanks for posing it.

Bringing in the strings on the second half was really effective. Love the title, and the rest of the lyrics don't disappoint! Nice emoting on the vocal as well. Good song! -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

We'd quote fav lines but that would be the whole song. Outstanding David. J&B Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more.
