Good write, pleasantly sung and well arranged.

The chorus stuck with me after the end of the song.

Well done.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Peter & Leon...

A song of 'reflection? Indeed. Don't know where the fox's story comes in, though it looked like it was sticking out its tongue at me smile.

The way Leon delivers his lyrics made the experience of listening to the song quite an 'interior' process, meaning that it was easy for me to feel what I imagine Leon was feeling -- I guess you could say I think I 'got inside his head' smile.

Peter, your electric guitar performance opened up musical vistas in the song that seem to enlarge the possibilities of meaning in the lyrics. It had the effect of sounding like something that could be heard over vast distances while providing a channel for Leon's solitary voice to speak through.

A fully involving musical production, this is.

Message easy to related to when sadness is always drawn back, still the hope is there in the little acts of kindness and in the crumbs to follow. Nicely rolling band, the pedal steel adds nice layer (also the synth/string pad not listed) and Peter's guitar is always pleasure to hear. Enjoyed also the warm vocals.

Leon & Peter,

"Look out! the prophets cry, the world is ending
I recall when I thought that they were wrong
But now take a look at how things are trending
Looks more like a question of how long"

Nice! Good write.

Good vocal. Good BAND. Nice drop at 3:12. Good arrangement. Cool guitar!!

Nice mix. Gentle, even, a treat for the ears...

Nice solo and outro solo, Peter. Just the right amount of fuzz for me wink



Thanks Dave - glad you like it "fuzzy"

Your vocals also set the mood and were well done. And finally, the solo at the end sounded great. Thanks for posting, I enjoyed the listen.


Thanks a lot.

Super guitar parts. Clear mix, listens easy. Fun photo smile Thank you for sharing.

This one hits the mark on so many levels - composition, mixing, musicianship, lyrics etc. There is so much to like here that I'm somewhat reluctant to write anything negative. But if I picked one thing it would be the harmonies. There's a computer-generated feel/sound to them that doesn't seem to blend so well with the more human elements of the lead vocal and lead-guitar playing. Apart from that, great job. More please!

Regards,
Ghostgum

Guitar, as I expect would be, is superbly performed and crafted. Especially the ending part!

Strong chorus.


Appreciate that Scott

Very good song. Good lyrics.
We especially like the chorus and... the pedal steel!

We love the lyric and can't we all relate to it these days?!

These lines are special:

"Look for the sun to break on through the clouds
Look out for those little acts of kindness
Hope springs eternal, maybe we can turn aside
That flood of avarice and blindness"

The lead vocal and harmonies are mighty fine and Peter's guitar solo, as always, is a perfect fit for the lyric and melody.

This was a fine band you put together and we especially liked the pedal steel. The dropout at approximately 3:13 was very effective.

The fox album cover is awesome too.

Always a pleasure,

J&B
