David,
A nice write. Smooth, Interesting. I would quote the same line that Bud and Dave did.... oh...what the heck...
"When midnight came
I was dreaming I could fly
an angel came from nowhere
and took me for a ride
we sang all night then she was gone
and left me dreaming
at the golden gates of dawn"
Nice.
The opening chords lift you up and carry you off - and the song never lets go from there.
Really like this track. Your vocal sits PERFECTLY in the mix. One of your best. There is something about this that reminds me of Springsteen from the Born In The USA era... (his most "commercial" period).
Super!

David,  From start to finish, this is an incredibly engaging composition and presentation. You've got it all... memorable lyrics, memorable melody, infectious and toe-tapping rhythm that drives the song with determination, very engaging vocals, and a really well planned arrangement that is full of intent and purpose and showcases everything. Congratulations on a terrific creation. Like a number of others before me, I also found the lyrics for verse one captivating. When I heard them, my first thought was "This is very inspired writing! Exceptional wordsmithery." All the best, Noel

I can certainly hear why you were all over the boards with excitement for this one.  Terrific song and track David! Reminded me of the Who but is delightfully David and definitely makes me want to hear it again.

Hey, Dave, nice solid write. Vocals really match the mood. I tend to be drawn to songs with a positive, upbeat feel, and this has it in spades in rhythm, melody, and lyrics. Everything aligns.

This intro immediately makes me think of Dancing in the Dark by Bruce Springsteen.
OK, let's listen further...
Mmmh yes, perhaps (and I know this must be flattering) a subtle Michael Sembello influence as well.
Let's listen further...
Oh yes, a little bit of Flash and the Pan as well.
I could go on... but for the sake of this Forum....
NICE!
Rob

This is a good one. Probably in the top of the stuff you've ever written. It has a Springsteen vibe..... Kinda like Born to Run....
Very nice. Also easily your best vocal yet.

Very cool song David. Kind of like modern mix of Bob Seger and Niel Young. I like the driving drums on this one. Great production as usual.

Well what the heck?! I posted (apparently unsuccessfully) a reply to this the day you posted your song. I kept waiting for a response from you and haven't seen a thing. I thought it was a bit odd you hadn't replied. Then today, I thought I would look back to see exactly when I posted it, and I can't find it! Not "a word" of it! So...now I'm forced to go and type the entire review and critique I had worked up, line by line AGAIN. Bare with me on this; because I want to make sure I get the wording right. So, I'll have at it... Uncle
