From the opening bars... this is unmistakably you. Great draggy kinda tempo adds to the psychedelic sorta feel - you do write this stuff dipped in acid, dontcha??? Blizzard of white.... obvious drug reference! Sounds like a n end of a movie track - widescreen and intense. How do you do it, keep coming out with all these quality songs. Its the drugs , isnt it? steve |

This is superb! as Steve said, how do you keep doing it? Personally I think this is one of your best. I get the whole feeling in this song about having enough of it and want it to end. If the lyrics were christmasy this would be an 'anti' christmas song! Production: Brilliant, Playing and singing: Brilliant, song: just brilliant! Adam |

Almost Ringo-like... ...drumming in this, not the typical looped drum, especially towards the end... Nice fade-in at the beginning... The bass is simple but very solid, and I might vote for another dB or two of the bass, since so much of the guitar fun is happening in the land of trebleness... I like the stereo spread of acoustic guitars, so there's high sparkly sounds in each ear... I keep coming back to those drums, though... Ed |

It's Vic without a doubt! Epic concept and epic proportions! How the hell do you get the time to do these? Great lyrics and a lovely wash of sound. Cheers Dick |

I hate the snow but luckily none so far this year. What a magic and majestic song - you just get better and better. Great in every way. Cheers Len |

I can't relate We haven't gotten one inch of snow in Northern Europe this year. Can you believe that. So, this year I can't relate. Anyway, great as usually. You never disappoint. You are a craftsman. Great lyrics and song, Vic. Dave |

Another one! You do these so well Vic! The Schecter sounds great - seems to have a slight lag on some notes, but maybe you meant to do that as it fits in with the tempo that Steve mentioned. Really like the lyrics - funny, but we haven't had any snow this year at all either :) Your vocals on this are classic Vic - the first few notes sound like you've been sucking helium! Great song!!

nice song and really cool production. there's so much cool stuff going on here. i really like the sound that kind of floats over everything, reall neat. and the gtr that almost sounds like an organ over the chorus is rad. sometimes you remind me of a mix between roky erickson and love. this is one of those times. sorry about the snow. we had ice on our roof yesterday morning. not that big a deal usually, but i live in LA. great song. |

perfect its hard to capture a feeling like this. its my sentiment exactly about Jan-Feb as the jigger of xmass fades and reality of 8-10 weeks of pure sleet sets in. I always love your voice and guitars but on this the strings and backing keys/synths stand out. Albeit just a support roll they cast the picture perfectly |

Hush you Muskies!..... (old '70s joke) definitely trudging across the tundra here. I've had one or two winters here in the Buffalo area like that. Here's to a quick melt-off; but not too quick:-0. You really captured the frustration and "cabin-fever" mood well. White and Grey, says it all. Agree with a db or more of bass, otherwise perfect. Hang in there, Spring is coming. Joe |

Nice twist! I take 1125MG of lithium per day already Vic! Yes indeed it is grey and a wee dark, however, it is damn good and as always the production is just that "pro" Another hit in my book (course, nobody ever reads it!) Sorry for the delay..... I finely have things just like I want them in the studio and now the well seems to have run dry! I think your new song may be grounds for some long over due inspiration! Ax |

Rosetta stone First of all, that song art is very eye-catching. Mellow rock yet it hits you hard with strong waves of emotions. The music is of course its strength, and your vocal rendition gives it a brooding depth. Lyrics are profound... lots of symbolism that can be interpreted like emotional hieroglyphics. |

WHY do I always know I'll be clicking the fav button when I come to one of your tunes? LOL A very FULL sound, for sure, how do get that level w/o clipping? . - Harold |

another holman gem ...aah, always glad to see your name in the 'who's online' box with a note next to it. And you never disappoint me when I click that note:-) You know, there's something so typical about your singing which I never noticed before. It's that running a tiny little bit behind. Apart from this stupid remark, what a great song again. And the lyrics aren't shabby either. Thanks for sharing this again, mate. -Walt |

Big production number here and it sounds great. Well written and produced and very professional sounding. Love the vocals that suit the subject and there IS a Mamas and Papas feel about this, good stuff, cheers M |

Cool Guitars I love how the panning and the acoustic guitars come together. Such a clean and bold sound. Is this recorded with a mic'd acoustic? Well played solo also! |

Groovy... Sounds like a classic 60's tune. I dig the the whole ambiance of the song. |

You had me on the opening guitar note One of your strongest yet. You just get better and better . Your guitar sounds and playing have always been exceptional but your songwriting and production gets stronger all the time. Your slightly differently tuned acoustic guitars tere are and exceptionally nice touch. Guitar solo smokes!!!!!!!!!! I too am a fan of the drum track with it's Beatle feel to it ... perfect. |

Great stuff Terrific guitars, blending perfectly with the drums and bass - this is an outstanding mix. Your voice is excellent, carrying the feeling of the words with great expression. You have such a terrific sound. It may take me a while, but I will work my way through your back-catalog! Nicely done, my friend. Peace. |
structural stuff happening and i like your use of tremolo in places. Is the Mamas and Papas quote intentional? I here "All the leaves are brown..." in the acoustic guitar phrase. Very cool - er - chilly.
