Steve,

It is always a pleasure to hear your music. Always.

I really like what Bud said (and agree fully):

And like, Torrey, I really like the "Springsteen-esque ending".

Excellent vocals, arrangement and mix.

This has the sound and feel of a Phil Vassar song... because of that, I did wish that the piano was mixed a bit more prominently...

Good stuff.

Always enjoy hearing your voice. This is a great arrangement and write, down to the end. Perfectly powerful band and message.

As always great production and vocal.

Really enjoyed the song, keep on fighting!

Thanks, Janne, for your nice comment!

Now that's testifyin'!

For a rock song, somewhat counter intuitively, there is a gentle core that
flows through the entire production and it enhances the message.

Your keyboards and the RT/RD tracks make a fine band as always.

The sincerity of your vocals never disappoint. We are all about soul, sincerity, feeling...
whatever you want to call it in vocals for any genre and you have it in spades.

Keep kicking him!!!

We enjoyed both the audio and video versions.

Hey, Janice and Bud! Thanks for your kind words! Always good to hear from you!

Thanks, Joe! Glad you like it.

Hello steve,

Very nice to get a good catchy pop song from you!
As always great production and vocal.
Your classical ballad that I listened to before was great, but such a rock song is also wonderful.
Inspirational and entertaining.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.
