Deej,

Very nice tune!
Your vocal overwhelms me.
The guitar sound is very comfortable.
Moreover, the melody is very pop.
I feel some nostalgia and early Beatles in this tune.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hi Deej,

You made a very cool, catchy song, but already everyone here told you so. It is difficult to write anything more complimentary than has already been done!
Your choice for the band has been very successful, given your hesitations.
But, although its a very good song, I prefer your slower songs, because your way of singing them is way more emotional and gives me goosebumps.

You've done it again - hats off.

First of all, this made me grin from beginning to end ... what inspired lyrics :-) And the production is top, top notch ... the music complements the lyrics perfectly, the singing is up to your usual stellar standard, the mixing (not my territory) is excellent ... excellent job! Well done.

Deej,

Excellent. In all regards.

I agree with the influences mentioned so far - Springfield, Petty... I'd add other great Radio Pop Rock folks - Joe Jackson, Elvis Costello, The Knack, Huey Lewis...

An excellent write for the genre. Could have easily hit the radio in days gone by...(again - your strongest stuff is self-penned)

Terrific production - great use of BIAB.

You are hitting all cylinders here. Super. More like this!!

Almost classic 80s power pop - it only needs a little more top end on the bass to get there.
Terrific song and top notch vocals.


Cheers

Shigeki, Hans, musician17, Floyd, Greg, and rayc:

First off, my apologies for the delayed reply and thanks. I've been away from the board a bit, lost in some other things, but didn't quite realize for how long. I almost hesitated to respond not wanting to bump the song after all this time . . . but that didn't quite seem right either. Please know I really appreciate the listen and the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the tune.

I hope you are each doing well and staying safe!

My kindest regards to each of you,

Deej

I love the opening lyric!

Great vocal. This one would definitely be playing on my turntable if I had it in vinyl.
