Nice build-up Very well paced song with excellent lyrics and singing. The line "You%u2019ve been hoping for a hurricane To blow away the years But the clouds just roll on by" was terrific. Very good song and an excellent first post (would be excellent anytime actually)! |

Loved it when the drums come in... ...You've got a nice melodic sense here, and I like your voice... From where I sit, you have all the strengths...Your voice is good, you have a nice sense of melody, you can hold pitch, and you keep time well...You can play rhythm guitar, lead guitar, some keyboard apparently, and you can program drums... Then on top of that, you write a good song... Anything I'd say of a critical nature would be tweaks to the recording and mix, and in my opinion none of that's as important as writing a good song and then singing and playing it well... This sounds very nice in the headphones. I like your lead guitar tone. The lyrics are good. I have this feeling you're one of those folks whose songs I'll be checking out a lot... Nice job all around. Ed |

a fine construction The churchlike organ intro nicely sets the somber, contemplative tone. I like the twists and contradictions in your writing as you work through the maze of the lyrics - like "You finally get it right/just when you think you're wrong" and "nothing is forbidden but what you want to do." The song is finely constructed - meaning it's well-thought out and well-executed, with many different parts all contributing to an excellent whole. |

Holy moly Hi dajama, Well, I'd have to agree about some comments about the mix, which could be improved (the vocals are very upfront and the drums only just there), but this is a real grower - I really like the song build-up and the harmonies (and the solo - nice guitar sound), and as warren commented, the church organ really suits the mood of the song. Great job! |

I agree . . . with Warren Smith's comment about the construction of the song and the way your instruments build toward the chorus and at the end. Another well produced song. Good lyrics and performance as well. |

I think I must have overlooked this one. Really good song - love the arrangement. Interesting listening to this after 'Astray' - shows how your production skills have developed. I think the sound on this one could be improved with the experience you've gained - and worth it. Peter |

I think the guitar fit... I can hear the out of tune string but it fits the song well! Adds a bit of dissonance that somehow adds to the song. My only comment is you have a killer strong full voice... The echo took a way from that wonderful voice in my opinion. Overall I really enjoyed it! |

Hitting you first From time to time, I like to hit my favorites' first. Like the structure and the whole feel of this. Have you ever thought about going back to it? It's very, very nice. Do you know that? Dave |
I think you have a great voice. Very interesting lyrics. Very nice composition. Very good playing. Great harmonies. A well constructed song. Great job!
