a masterful collaboration, you four i turned up the sound and it really helps. i heard everything better (and i did use headphones). i really like the sound of the stereo strumming, the pick on the strings, the judicious use of synth stabs, the "fascinating and unique" harmonies that i found kind of thrilling and not off-putting, especially that last chord. and i think it is the use of the distortion organ on the last shorus that saturates the field. but, above all, woody's soprano sax is masterful. and ivanjs' bass is like a duet instrument they way it flies around the fingerboard. great tune. plus, nice art! |

Because it can I love the adventurous musical ideas you try in this piece. I actually get a "shanty" feel from it. There are some really nice drum details in here too. Great instument parts that work very well together (I dig the bass riffs). I don't think you need be the least bit apologetic about your voice, you've got it. Don't take this the wrong way, but moments here made me think of Jethro Tull! (8-8-9-8) |

jam-packed there is so much great stuff here.. singing, instruments, lyric, composition-all top-notch. i really enjoyed how the song meanders to different places as it moves along. on second listen i cranked up the volume a bit & the details came thru wonderfully. great job everyone |

I would love to hear an instrument take on this. The swaying Celtic feel of this song, driven by the acoustic guitar and Johns' lyrical bass lines really contribute strongly to this composition. Wonderful, reassuring words... |

Very, very nice Really liked this a lot. There was a bit of distance in the mix that I wasn't 100% sure about. When the sax first kicked in it sounded a little muffled to me. Although the levels and production were great, I think the sax adn the vocal could have benefitted from being a touch clearer and sharper. LOVED the rhythm guitar and the sax playing was superb. Great composition and terrific track. Great job guys. |

My Favorite Tobin piece ever.I tend to love songs that feel like home. It's a hard thing to decribe, but it's that odd flavor as if the song is something you remember hearing before, not like comparing it to something else. It just feels familiar. Wonderful. Fanned and Downloaded. |

You say something with your music I enjoyed this, appreciated the ending tag, as if the music was part of the pilgrimage, part of the lyrics. One into the other and I felt like something was being said even when you weren't singing. This is incredibly skillful writing and arranging. I liked the unusual harmonies by the way and could detect no offkey notes, but I was never noted for having great ears. It was all top notch. |

Lifted me up Whoever gave this song something below a 6 has holes in their head. Although I like a harder edge to my jazz, this folk jazz new age lightness lifted me up, like your lyrics. Most noteably the excellent soprano sax and bass playing. I liked the lightness of the bass, by the way, it went with the entire uplifting experience. This is so complete, an excellent arrangement of highest quality. |

Wonderfull!!!! I ben listening to this song 6-7 times and its start to grow on me, and i cant get the chorus out of my mind. :-) Personally i love 2 chords groove because then i have to think about the dynamics and get the feeling in to it. sory iam not so good in english so i can express myself right. ;-) But when my son was listening to the song he sat down in my knee and was totally concentrated. And when it was finished he slammed his hand on the computer keyboard and said : AGAIN!!!! ;-) Wonderfull song Thompa |

finally got a chance to listen... Wow! Very nice... it's so smooth. I especially like the dissonant vocals (the final "Again"'s REALLY kick) and how you're able to bring the song through those ripples back to the serene feel from the begining. Marvelous! |

thoughts from the bull... the song overall works really well. the sax is hot, the words are rich and evocative, and the guitar is just sweet. nice work on this by all! the drums are good, but for my ear just a touch louder than i prefer, but that's a personal preference and takes nothing away from the song. i really love the lines: "When you change the way you look at things, all the things you look at change. Every time I come to return, I arrive for the first time, again." it's akin to philosphies of the i-ching and again, works really well. this is a wonderful collaboration and i'm glad i tapped into it! thank you! |
like autumn sugar.
