Perfect lyrics that only a dad can create. I'm happy for your daugter. I really like your songcraft, Herb. You always make catchy melodies with relatabe lyrics. Very pro right from the germ of an idea to the sustaining ending. Thanks Babu. I'm glad he's gone too. Thanks for listening and the nice comments.

Herb...really, really nice rock song...Solaria sounds great....nice synth lead...I agree with Marty...this sounds like it was written from the perspective of the girl (and/or her father!)...I really like the up-tempo feel...a positive take on a negative situation (rotten, loser guy)...working with the Synth voices is a challenge but you nailed a realistic rock vocal here! Thanks Firesong. Yes absolutely, it's written from a first person perspective. It has to be positive.... she's happy now.

Herb, you have always made really appealing music from the first years back in the cakewalk days. Your production is always smooth and polished and has steadily shown improvement. This was a great example of what can be done with the tools we have today. I always love your guitar work. Someone said it had a Cars vibe i agree, but it also had a Herb vibe. Nice work old friend. Rob.... ahhh yes, the old cakewalk days.... such a heady time. Thanks again old friend.

Herb, this is fantastic.
Super synth vocal and lyrics (sorry about what your daughter had to go through)
Super job on the synth and guitar tracks.
Outstanding mix.

Great drums riff, reminds me of Queen and David Bowie's "Under Pressure". Solaria sounds as natural as you can get these voices to be.
The songwriting is excellent, the lyrics are inspiring.
Bravo. Thanks musician17. I always appreciate your response.

The song is pretty cool. Really cool in fact.
But I hate to say I'm confused.
A man was mean to your daughter.
You are Herb Hartley.
You are a true Patriot. In every way known to man. Terrorists faint at the sound of your name. And we know why.
You're a Marine.
You're crazy.
Why isn't the song called Hope You're Having Fun in Heaven. Or, Gone. And I Mean: GONE GONE. Or, Hubby the Headless Chicken Runner?*
Sitting here scratching my jaw on this one.
* I hope someone appreciates my subtle yet clever Warren Zevon reference. Thanks David.... No need for jaw scratching or confusion. Restraint. He never laid a hand on her. So he gets off easy. I'm glad you like the song

Perfect teen rock song, I think you expressed the feeling and what's going on pretty well. Along with your good production, I wouldn't be surprised to hear this song on the radio. Good job, daddy  Glad you like it B.D. thanks for listening.

Outstanding mix. Thanks Mario. The funny thing is.... well, maybe not exactly haha funny.... She saw the red flags before they got married but decided to ignore it and thought it would change. It didn't. Hopefully, lessons learned and not to be repeated. Again thanks for listening

Herb,
It's a tough subject to handle but you did it admirably!
This has an extremely clean sort of 80's sound!
Great job with the vocal work but I have to say your non-synth vocals always sound great!
Awesome production!
Thanks, TB

First, we are glad your daughter got out of that relationship!
The lyric and vocal work together very nicely. Excellent work in “humanizing” Solaria. No doubt those nuances took a lot of contemplation and effort.
Your guitar and the rest of the band (synths and BiaB) sounded very cohesive … like a fine group of well honed session guys.
Nicely done all the way around,
J&B
PS: All things said, no doubt you could have sung this well!
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos are here on our website.

Very uplifting chorus. An inspiration for your daughter. I love the 80s feel to this song.
Solid production/instrumentation/mix. Synth voice sounds awesome.
