Deej, and Ray...super collab...really interesting elements...everything placed correctly in the mix...the use of panning is exceptional...Deej, the vocals are killer (as per usual)... a wall of sound placed neatly in the soundscape!

I concur with everyone else's accolades. Stellar vocal. Stellar composition. Stellar production. The painstaking attention to detail is evident. The song is NOT too long at all. I actually wanted more. Very reminiscent of 70s progressive rock---but better.

That doesn't fit neatly into a box. That's a good thing. This is interesting and unique.
Good work.

Excellent in all aspects! Wonderful song, and man, that vocal is crazy good. Love the vocal arrangement too, really well done. Doesn't get much better, well done you two! P.S. I read your comment on collaborating with someone over the internet and how things might be different if you were in the same room hashing out ideas together. I couldn't tell you how many times Marty (in Pennsylvania), Chris (in Germany), and myself (in Canada) have had that same conversation!  Thanks Dave, As you know, better the internet thatn no collab at all.

Sensational collab. Ray is so darn creative and your vocal can make any song soar to its destined height. I've listened to this one a couple times already before today. Your vocal is outstanding in range and quality. The harmony is interesting. Terrific instrumentation, and yes, I like the mix on headphones. So good. Thnaks Marty, you always know how to make me feel good about a project.

This is epic. I'm hearing a Bowie,Pink Floyd, Radiohead vibe with immaculate vocals with an expansive interesting musical backing. It is going to take a few listens to fully unpack this musical tour de force. The passionate vocals hooked me first followed by the very engaging accompaniment. You guys have created a nice piece of art here. Thanks Izzy, Deej is a very charismatic performer.

Yes, as floyd says, the word "epic" can be over-used, but I also agree with him that this is indeed epic. On a vocal, technical note: how on Earth you hit those high notes, Deej, only God knows. But, that aside, what a song, what a write, what a performance. I can't imagine anyone other than Deej singing this, because (apart from the technical prowess), boy he has passion in his delivery. The production itself is a roaring success - well done, Ray, you are a touch above many with this kinda thing - here, too, no exception. The cello interlude is beautiful, with a warm tone in Alison Reynolds' playing. But, you know: it's not so much the parts of the production that I like so much and analyse, but rather the "wall of sound" that is the end result. I don't sit to listen to music to take it apart, in other words; but to let it wash over me and enjoy. And this does the job, and then some, in that respect.
A lot of work has, no doubt, gone into this to make it sound so easy and natural - but, again, y'all have succeeded to say the least. The biggest compliment I can make you is this: I want to hear this song, again and again. Not to analyse, but to enjoy. And that's a heck of an achievement in my book. Bravi.
P.S. love the ending (and the section where Deej sings as if his voice is somehow far away). So creative. Bravi, once more. Thank you James, Deej's delivery makes it happen.

Thanks so much for the listens and support. This song was a lot of fun to work with and Ray is so easy to collaborate with . . . and so inspiring. Appreciate all the listens, to this and in the video thread!
