I'm not quite as cynical as some parts of the song but I do have a scepticism that almost matches it. I really, really smooth band, arrangement and performances. The harmonies throw a big lift exactly where needed and the reminds me a little of Stars as presented in the Andy Durant memorial Concert album.

During the lockdown, the days felt like the same and even now that I don't have regular working hours anymore, it is difficult to remember what day it is. Nicely the story is expanded from the personal level to the politics and even to the world. Great band, very mellow mood. The melody and chords are very pleasing. Enjoyed the solo and the vocals.

Had to judge what day it was by when they picked up the garbage out front. Lockdown in winter in Northern Canada is pretty uneventful. Cool lyric and and vocals. Guitar was excellent. Loved the guitar playing behind the solo was a really cool add. Well done..

Well, we could not agree more on the lyric! Groundhog Day indeed. Both vocals are great, and as mentioned, the placement of the harmonies is oh, so good. You know we love your guitar work, quite obviously Peter, but also your arrangement is excellent. Janice has been humming this tune for days so you know she loves it. Enjoyed it! A lot.

Man, I really like that bass, and you dress it with just the perfect guitar interaction. Brilliant how the guitars carry it to the fade. Very enjoyable.

Guitar parts sound super...loved those little slide parts you put in there! The 2 guitars playing off each other in the solo was effective! Thanks, Torrey
