Lawrence & J&B,

This is some sweet stuff! The light delicate nature of the song give such a beautiful feel to it! The vocals are excellent (lead and harmony) as is the wonderful arrangement! Everybody ought to love this one! T

Oh, yeah. This wonderful song is full of excellent choices. Adding Janice *I Bud always makes good so much better. Great song. Lawrence. Ver engaging.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Cool narrative and arrangement.
Really solid main vocals and a set of harmony vocals that surprise with the excellent, path less trodden phrasing and note perspective.
With just the main vocal it'd be a very successful recording but with Janice along it lift into wow land.


Cheers

Nice write, engaging story.

Loved the guitar solo. Gotta check out that RT. Cool ending!

Reminded me a bit of early Billy Joel - that's a good thing.

I like this one a lot! laugh


Thanks for mentioning the harmony David!

This was on my "to hear" list for some time.
Lawrence and crew,
Fun tune full of positive energy! Interesting lyrics / idea. Great vocals and those harmonies... Janice made this tune dance. Super production! Listens very well. Thank you for sharing.

This song has kinetic energy: It keeps moving along nicely. I enjoyed the whole song, but I especially liked the luscious vocal harmonic textures after the caesura. That was a big wow! Nicely done, You must have had a good producer smile

A great listen.

Lawrence ...

A super summer song. And bringing in Janice is always a plus! Her vocals and harmonies are exquisite. And your lead vocal is a perfect match for the music. Nice lyric and an equally great musical backing. The lead guitar riff was bold and added a new dimension that works perfectly. Really, really superb listen! Take care ...
