As others here have done, I've tried to compare your voice with that of established stars. But the fact is, your voice is unique. One of the best voices in the world, in my opinion. This is a good song, a good vehicle for that excellent voice. I still like the recent "I Can't Wait" as possibly your best, but this is strong material as well. Great work!

Hands down, a great song.
I really like the chorus and the way you draw out the word "try."
Lyrics are masterful storytelling. The bridge works quite well IMHO.

Hi, all:
Well, i had the best intentions to stay on top of this thread and spend a lot of time catching up on everyone’s posts. But alas I’ve been away for the past week stuck with no Wi-Fi (Dad couldn’t remember the password—sigh). Not so much fun listening and posting via my phone, but wanted to at least quickly acknowledge your listens and all the kind feedback. Thanks for that.
I should be back tomorrow and will respond in more detail to your posts above soon thereafter. But, again, thanks for taking the time to listen and comment.
My very best to you all. Stay safe, stay well.
Deej

rayc, David C., musician17, Marty, Janne, bloc-head, Vic, Mario, Torrey, Andi, J&B, Guitarhacker, David S., Hans, Scott, Cap’n, RnAM, Misha, AudioTrack, TuneMonger, Ezekiel, and fj:
As noted above, thank you all for the kind comments. I was reticent about this one, concerned about the length and whether the bridge worked well enough . . . but I’m happy it seemed to have connected. Really appreciate the kind feedback. A few thoughts on some of the specific feedback:
rayc and David C.: I revisited the mx on the moments you cite, and tried to minimize what I think you hear. I haven’t uploaded a new version yet, but hope what I’ve done addresses the issue.
David C and Mario: I truly didn’t mean to be disingenuous or overly modest about the “small talents’ phrase. In context, it was simply meant to convey that despite my vision for how I wanted the bridge to sound, I lacked the production chops to pull it off. I’m happy enough with how it came out, but it’s different from what I had in mind. I wish I had greater technical expertise to be as creative and innovative as many on this forum can be.
TuneMonger: I always shudder a bit when folks describe my voice as unique. It’s kind of like when your buddy sets you up for a blind date: You ask what she’s like, and he says, “She’s really interesting”. That can cut two ways, LOL. But I truly am appreciative of your comment—it’s overly kind.
Stay safe, stay well, everybody!
Deej

Absolutely nothing wrong with a long song, so long as it's a *good* song And this is GREAT! Wonderful writing, love the story! And man, that vocal ... fabulous! Best song I've heard in a while, well done

Deej, your voice is unique in the best way possible. Nothing to shudder about, that's for sure. Like I said, for my money, it's one of the best voices on the planet. Certainly worthy of being compared to Cat Stevens or Passenger. Better than both, in my opinion.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
