I LOVE THIS!!! man, it's almost kinda weird...on some of your newer material it seems like your moving towards a mixture of 'blue album' Weezer and 'fantastic planet' Failure. NOT complaining at all, being as those are two of my favorite albums and one of my favorite artists of all time (failure..yah rock on!!!!!)...but yah, weirdly friggin awesome! love this tune, just enough pop rock to hook ya, yet just enough "alt" rock to keep the "trained" ear listening and HAPPY! well done my friend, bad *ss song!!! age |

super good a little vulnerability in the vocal i like. wonderful and catchy chorus. you've got tons of song in you. keep em comin. |

cool. What makes this song great is the strong story telling. The music is obviously top tier, professional grade so there's nothing else I have to say about that. But the story you're telling is sweet, but not Nashville sticky sweet. Though the story may be specific to you and your superfriend, it reminds us all of superfriends past and present. Definitely reminds me of the early days with my wife. Again, it's not like the music is an afterthough. 12parsecs mix is undeniably fantastic and you handed him some out of this world tracking. |

Yes! Always a pleasure Ridd. Why the hell do you apologize for doing this stuff? The tune is excellent, as is the mix! Be well! |

Holy crap Nice vocal range - how did you hit that last note? I like this one a bunch. It's good that people can still have fun with music instead of being serious all the time. |

And I'll wait forever Love the lyrics as your voice and I'll wait forever it's little like my story before me and my wife really find they way to each other... We did a song together as a collab "Being a friend" after that we had contact w/mail after 3 years we are together for ever... Love this it's so true and as always your music is phenomenal. Thanks for sharing D-loaded. Take care -- Kenta |

dude this is awesome. love the piano in the verse. the song is excellent, arrangement is great, tones and sounds are perfect, really great song. so when we doing that collab? |

Great stuff Love the title, and the picture is terrific! Love the narrative aspect of the song, and the arrangement is perfect. Lovely drum sound, and the distorted guitars are just right, not overly grungy, but dirty enough to offer nice contrast to the sunny lyrics. Great vocal performance, and solid playing throughout. The piano is a really nice touch. Very cool. Nicely done. Peace. |

Great This is a really great song... Good sound on the rhythm guitar.... And also the drums.... I can't say it enough.. The sound is great on this... Good work... And i like the melody...... |

alright Yeah it sounds like a difficult key, but you pull it off well. Love the recent pop influenced songs. I'm looking forward to the Satellite CD. |

Great heavy pop I really like the way you've done this Ridd. Fantastic tune, played and sung just right. I have no nits at all. Top post. Neil |

Fine, fine pop song and production. The vocal is placed so well in the mix. The low end of the band mix could use a little eq polish to really give it a pro treatment. |

I think your self depreciating side is a Canadian thing :) This song brought back some memories for me and thats what a great song can do. I maybe late but I made it to the party. You are a helluva songwriter R and the playing and singing was top drawer as they say. I wish I could get that tight of a tone out my guitar tracks. Do you mic an amp with pedal processing? Anyway this is worthy of a fav and download. Thanks for sharing. |

Hmmmmm .. at the risk of pissing off some Mjers by saying "great tune I luv it ...." ... I'm gonna throw caution to the wind and say "great tune I luv it" .... I am not one for critiquing too much as I know nothing about such things .... but suffice it to say .. that for some of us .. .maybe its just the point of saying I was here .. I listened .... and I liked what I heard ... amen. This took me back tho ... to a time ... (um late 70's ish ) .... ah the good old days ! |

Cool Song I really liked this, pretty dang cool, I think the only thing is on the chorus distorted guitars, is to maybe scoop the mid's a bit, because they sound a bit over saturated in the mix and lose note distinction. Okay spit in my general direction. I'm fine by that. But I can dodge. |

You know what I'm going to say - you are definitely one of the very best here. Downloaded. Thanks. Cheers Len |

yeah! tight tune, man. i'm a big fan of the happy lyrics over heavy guitars - you pulled it off well. and great mix! the new hat in the choruses are much better. like i said, the mix was good enough to go before, but this one has been upgraded to killer. nicely done. |
 | egobandit said 172 days ago |

Yep This is gonna be hard because I think I like this one better, but the other version I think would work commercially ( no offense just my opinion) I could be wrong... Great song all around I like the piano in this 10 thumbs up! |
 | VicDiesel said 172 days ago |
|
Sweet Whistful, I believe, is the word for these lyrics. That piano contributes to the general atmosphere. Cool stuff. |

I like this one even better Voice and melody are right on... really good radio stuff here. |

Pure Pop For Now People it doesn't get much better than this. I love the perfectly simple drum track - and the chug of the guitars. You really built a beautiful machine here. Excellent vocals - you might want to reconsider your best key - this sounds great. |

Pop rocks Love this blend of pop and rock. You got it going on Ridd. You do have that Weezer thing going on, like Lennon 714. Hope I'm not stepping out of bounds, but I think you, me and Lennon could come up with a great one, one day. Cool song, Marvin of the Superfriends |

oh my... wish i could harmonise like that. You've got such a great sound. I'm also a complete sucker for melodic pop/rock, i just get such an adrenaline rush from it. I know this isn't a sad song (quite the opposite), but i just thought you'd like to know i ACTUALLY got a shiver when that chorus kicked in. It's stuff like that that i love. Thanks for the great music |

Oh, Wow!! And I thought the Acoustic version was Awesome...this is more Awe-Inspiring. I know....MJrs must be more critical in their commentary...I read the Forum. But I find this song to be inspiring of awe within me because I aspire to pen down one of my future unwritten tunes like this. Great Hook, Make You Wanna Listen Contrast, Vocal Delivery With Surprise Vocal Ending, Nice Beginning, Nice Closing, Cool Storytelling, Scrungy Grungy Guitars....How on earth does one be so critical of such a complete gem as this tune? Did I mention the Awesome Acoustic version? I'm downloading. |

friking great!! The geek in me is shaking with joy. This is a great song. Awesome summer anthem. Wow man. Love it. |

This is why pop isn't all bad, in fact this is quite good. Catchy, just long enough, great playing and terrific indie rock vox. I found myself wanting the guitars louder, which by the way, I have never said to a guitarist before. |

Superfriend Hey Ridd - this was SO worth the wait! Sorry it took so long for me to get here. This song just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. And then, it's also really really good, fun, well produced music. Thanks for the heads up! |

Like this one more than the previous one. Which is to say that one was an A - this is an A |

very emo indie style ..I like it ! |
This is fantastic. I know that people are coming down on MJ'ers who are "over-positive" in their comments, but your song seems near perfect.
the melody and changes in the chorus seem to embody what is good about indie rock.
I see no problems with the vocal.
In the spirit of not being over-positive, I will say that sometimes in this type of music, a bit of extra tanginess in the form of a slightly negative-sounding lyric, or slight melodic or harmonic dissonance really pushes the song into ecstatic territory. that's very subjective though... great song. i would definitely aspire to do something this good one day.
