80s indeed...the intro is dangerous - it was so quiet I reached for the volume & the BAM! Deafness.
Good work with the synth vox.

Elliott, you said "I was going for a 80's Rock Hit ... inspired by Pat Benatar, Heart " and you really nailed it!
One of the best synth vocal songs ever! They sound so real it is scary.
The perfect hair band backing the vocals.
Outstanding mix.
Great effects also!

Elliot, you really nailed the genre in the composition, arrangement and instrument choices. More Pat than Heart to my ears, and I love them both, but that's not a bad thing at all. That guitar break is KILLER! Well done.

Mission accomplished, Elliott. Strong sound. Very full. Man, you are good with those synths. Great melody and quite a range. Hey, the lead break is 100% awesome, too. Very catchy sound.

Hair band galore! Simply stated you nailed every aspect of that vibe.
Your performance 👍🎸 and the synth guys are great. One of the best RD tracks we’ve heard. The lyric is perfecto for the feel.
Nice to see PG Music featured it on Hot Topics.
Kudos,
J&B

Hi Elliott.
What a fantastic song and brilliant production!
The Synth V vocals are amazing. They sounded fully real to me.
If you hadn't said that these were vocaloids, I wouldn't have been able to tell.
I love groove. I love the lyrics.
This was a very satisfying musical journey.

Howdy Elliot.... I dig this write and it's a appealing listen, no doubt. Cool topic, very clean recording and some great axe work, per your usual. TBH....I don't see myself ever using any AI Synth vocals route but this one sure has quite a convincing quality to it. Pretty amazing. Very well done, I enjoyed it.

Engaging song from the start on all levels. Though "the fittest" are the species which can best adapt to their changing environments. So humans come in bottom of the class.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Elliot,
Nice 80's Pop Rock track.
Good work with the girls.
Good mix.
Drums are good - hittin' hard. Nice Bass. I thought the guitars could have be slightly louder.
And fun....
