Loved that opening melodic guitar part, Scott, and nice playing throughout. Good write from Robert to go along with his signature vocal style.
Nicely done!

Lovely indeed, with a haunting otherworldly feel. Expertly arranged and performed. Very cool guitar and a shattering vocal. Just excellent!

Hi Scott and Robert.
That was quite a thought-provoking musical and lyrical journey.
The guitar intro was superb.
The chorus really grabbed my attention, too.
I love the musical lift I felt when travelling from verse to chorus.
Once again, I enjoyed where you took me.
All the best,
--Noel

One of my favorite albums of all time was Roxy Music's Avalon. This has that feel, especially with those vocals. Love that chorus melody.

Strong melodic mood, and you two do such an extraordinary job on these songs --the whole package, the idea, the lyrics, the melody and progression, then top it off with the perfect mix and present it with such a worthy video. Man, Scott, has anyone ever told you how good you are at crafting and excuting those guitar lines?

Scott and Robert, loved that intro and all the other guitar licks! Sweet tone!
Great vocal
Super mix
You two produce some great music.

Gentlemen,
I loved the light, airy feeling. It's good to hear Robert's vocal a littler more forward in the mic than usual. The enrtire mix is superb. You guys make great music together. Another gem - thanks!

The lead intro struck me as just a little loud but terrific notes, choices and playing.
"it all falls away
hold me and say
whisper that cliche
you are you are
too lovely for words"
Sweet words.
Good mix and band.
Cool.
Cheers

Beautiful love song and the emotional video brought tears to my eyes... so lovely romantic story where "whisper that cliche" feels really original.
The band is smooth and Scott's guitar adds the dreamy mood. Robert's voice is enjoyably unique and expressive.
Lovely work both musically and visually!

Sweet arrangement and as another has said, "unworldly".
Fits the lyric very well.

That is a very lovely song and video
We enjoyed the family photos in the vid.
This line really stood out for us: “from a tower of clouds you can calculate openings in the sky `til someone dances right through your design springtime in her eye.”
You and the BiaB guys are very nice and your guitar fits the joyous mood so well (chops and tone).
As does the tender vocal.
Enjoyed it!
