So what we are hearing follows:

1. Wonderful write with a message close to us
2. A beautifully sung and mixed vocal
3. Off the chart guitar playing
4. A mix that holds together at low volume, medium volume or high volume
5. A stellar example of a BIAB forum collab

One of the best that we've heard during our four years on the forum.

WTG guys!!!!!!!

Peter, Leon, Greg,

What a wonderful listen! When I read through the comments and came across Janice's and Bud's, I had to quote them. They've covered everything I thought (although I didn't try the different volume levels). I, too, have not listened to a great deal of Pink Floyd so that influence is a bit lost on me. But the song.... Wow! It is so very, very good and a credit all..... first class EVERYTHING!

Regards,
Noel

Great guitar playing, Peter!

Greg, this is a different vehicle for your voice, but I really like what you've done here, both as lead and backing vocals! The mix between the vocals and the instruments is perfect... such a professional sound, it really pays homage to the excellent music of the 70s!

Drums are snappy , everything is right where it needs to be...

You know you've put together a good song when you get the chills response, as Floyd said.. and this has it!

I don't generally like preachy lyrics, and 9 times out of ten I click away as soon as I realize I'm being fed a point of view. The fact that this song not only held my attention but left me scrambling to write a favorable review is a whole different kind of testimony to the power of this song.

Great job, my hat is off to all the collaborators!


Pat

Great collab, Greg, great vocals, Peter that solo was unbelievely good! just awesome. Production was slick, pro. I don't like preachy message songs, I'm in Pennsylvania where the coal industry is still important to the livelihood of many people, even with those things said, I have no problems with an excellently stated and presented song with a longer outlook and overview for us all.
Great job, enjoyed.

I have a nephew who works in a coal mine so I understand how sensitive some of these issues can be.
Glad you enjoyed the song.

We love this one.
Beautiful arrangement Peter (great Dave Gilmour guitar solo too), and Greg (we know you're a Pink Floyd specialist) very well sung!
And the Di Caprio monologue gives a cool touch to it all.

Beautiful melody, dynamic mix. Enjoyable lyrics make this feel like a true hit song. Greg's interpretation is excellent, the female vocalist adds nice feeling. And the guitar solo is the final crown. A masterpiece, definitely.
