I LOVE this. Robert's unique approach to the lyrics and vocal sensitivity, coupled with Scott's incredible playing and quite flawless, 100% professional production skills ... gold. This is radio ready, to say the least. A somewhat mystical approach to music, that just works and communicates to itself to anyone who is ready to listen. Bravi, both of you. SUPERB. Oh, and: STUNNING video! Dare I ask how you made it, or is it a trade secret?  Either way, wow.

Hey this sounds really awesome, quite the production masterpiece.
I'm trying to fit this into a genre but I don't know quite how to. It definitely has a lot of different elements in it and I could compare it to King Crimson I suppose but that's not really it. And it does have some prog rock elements and soundtrack components as well.
What band would you guys compare this to if you had to make a choice? In other words what do you think are the influences that are going on here?
This is just a really spectacular piece of work and I wanted to know if you think any specific bands in the prog rock genre are showing up as influences here
Great job.

Just a spectacular piece of art! Unique and challenging, but immensely likable. Everything sounds great. I especially liked the Wah on the guitar. Don't hear enough of that these days, but it's perfect here. Great job!

Gentlemen, all I can say is WOW!
This is a masterful work of art, both the music and video.
Everything and I mean everything is absolutely perfect.
It has been asked what bands does this remind you of.
For me it was a few. Queen during the harmony parts. King Crimson during the vocal parts.
Clapton during the guitar leads. Who could ask for more?
An outstanding piece of art.
Loved it.
I just posted a selfie and all of the responses were get well soon!

Great job. Thanks David for the awesome comments. Really don't know how our songs transform into the finished pieces. They start very stripped down and develop kind of a feeling before they are finished. Roberts lyrics are very descriptive by themselves and with his taking up the video production has taken them to a new level. For me I really don't think about genre. I love the groove which comes from the drums and basslines and try and meld them with the melody of Roberts test vocal.. I asked Robert today what influences his music and this is what he sent me: Quote: Genre?? I didn`t consider that at all. The opening choral melody comes from classical music & parts of the rock song melody/rhythm from a guitar solo on an early Quicksilver album. I listened to prog rock way back when but any influence would be unconscious. Actually our own Order Of the Hoax gave me the confidence that an acapella choir could work integrated in a rock song...and that was entirely built around your instrumental track. Really glad you liked the song.

Well, in all ways this is epic. Vocals and guitar are great. I had to listen a couple times through to get the gist of the lyrics. Excellent work, both of you!

Very excellent and creatively original. I also liked the guitar solo, and I think there's a lot of songs posted on this forum which would be better with an instrumental break. The style somehow reminded me of an old British band, but I can't put my finger on which. I really enjoyed everything about this.

Listened when you first posted on FaceBook, and definitely worth another listen.
Scott, you and Robert have developed your own sound and style, and it's a good sound indeed! Very unique and original.
I think this is my new favorite, just great work. Love the video too. Well done to both of you!

Wow, I love the in-your-face harmony in the opening, then that cool guitar speaks. Sensational video to compliment the always top-notch lyrics that speak in poetic ways. Cool wah-wah, too. Man, I love your unique videos and the level of spirit in your songs. Well done, Robert and Scott.

Hi Robert and Scott,
A very impressive song!
Very nice vocal harmonies and also a beautiful guitarplay by Scott.
It is really something very different but beautiful.
A pity the lyrics were not in or not so well to follow (on YouTube).
That video was very creative and (somewhat) haunting too.
So, a big hand for the both of you!
Hans

Scott & Robert,
Another gem of SP. Fantastic harmonies, lyrics, guitar and overall concept of the tune. It seems you production matures with each song. Good one, and thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?
