Dave, what an outstanding intro, love that guitar!
Chris and Marty did a fantastic job on the vocals. Of course Marty's bass was spot on. The mix was also outstanding.
The lyrics were also great. Fantastic ending!
I liked everything about this one. That intro bit came first, pretty much built the entire song around that  Thanks, Mario! Hi, Dave. As others said, strong start with with a blazing guitar solo. I haven't heard this sort of dramatic duet on this forum for a while, and it sounds great. Awesome vocals, and guitar. Bass and drum in the pocket. Fun listen!  Hi David, I think it was Chris' idea to do a duet, but it was Marty that arranged it. I think it turned out pretty good also Thanks for the listen and comments!

Mix / Production
Well balanced mix
Instrumentation
The track suddenly sounds slightly empty in solo section at 1:58 – you may have taken too much out
Nice lead guitar sound - had me thinking of Gary Moore
Vocals
Not that keen on the unison lead, but maybe that’s just me. I prefer the alternate line verse.
I like the harmony sections though
What I really liked
Intro certainly grabs the attention – I like the repeat of the intro riff at the end. Nice touch.
What could be improved
Solo at 2:44 sounds too long to me
I’m hearing a lot of ‘lonely’ in the lyric!

That lead guitar playing is amazing. Tastefull economic use of notes really allows the music to breathe . Everything is working perfectly here and the chemistry of 3 fine musicians is an aural delight . Would love to hear Christiane really cut loose with a spirited , wild vocal (a-la Beth Hart) , but perhaps that is a selfish request.
Loved this , well done.
cheers
Gary. Hi Gary, We have done a few where Chris cuts loose on the vocal. Not quite like Beth Hart, but no one sings quite like that Happy you liked this, thanks for stopping by! Wow Dave very cool intro. Love the bite in the guitar tone. Awesome duet from Marty and Chris. The piano was excellent loved the rocking chords back and forth. Gave the song a really cool feel. Guitar solo took the song to a very cool place. Well done Thanks, Scott, appreciate that!

Very good vocals from Chris and Marty. Marty’s usual stellar bass playing and sound. Dave, I think this is without question some of your best work. The tone and feel is superb! To all in Blue Attitude, this is one of your top tracks. Bravo, Tom

The team has delivered another classic. The opening bars suggested a fantastic production had commenced.
It didn't disappoint.

Now that is a stadium filling sound!
The strong duet and very tasteful solos make for a most memorable rock ballad.
Not unexpectedly Marty nailed it all down with the excellent bass track.
One word: Anthemic!
Enjoyed the listens...
J&B
PS Great mix and I like the ReverbNation sound better...it made the SC version sound a bit compressed. I agree about the sound between the two platforms. With ReverbNation what you hear is what was uploaded, in this case a 320K MP3. It doesn't matter what you upload to SoundCloud, they run everything through their own compression algorithm. I read that to get the best possible sound from their algorithm you should upload a 24bit WAV, but I can't be bothered rendering out a WAV specifically for SoundCloud (we get hardly any listens over there) so I upload 16bit WAVs. Thanks Janice and Bud!

Hi Dave, Chris and Marty,
As I can recall this is your first duet with Chris. It sounds great.
And of course the band and that outstanding leadguitar sounds swell too.
I always enjoy listening to your songs. This one is no exeption to that. I would say; of course not!
And I am spoiled by listening to them, I'm afraid.
Or maybe you should be because it raises the bar...,
Greetings to all,
Hans

Yes, Marty and Chris blend nicely. The unison was good, especially considering the lyric. Band is solid, and Dave's tone and licks fit the bill. I don't know how this thing could get more "minor", but it still didn't come across as hopelessly "sad". I hope that's a "good" thing. It's cool to watch Blue Attitude the band try out different patterns of writing and performance. Love to all of you. Thanks as always, Tangmo! Well done everyone. The vocalists work well together. They tell a good story. The lead guitar is bad a**. Superb. The recording is well mixed and clear. Hat is off to everyone involved. Thanks for the listen and comments! Dave Chris & Marty
A delight to listen to. Wonderful vocals - superb duet, and a great emotional sound.
Dave - lovely well composed guitar parts - beautifully played (some great bends)!
Top notch in all aspects.
Peter Appreciate that, thanks, Peter!

A power blues ballad...but without the histrionics.
I appreciate the restraint because it allowed the song to shine.
That's what I always aim for although I don't always achieve it. My favorite players, always, are the guys that could say a lot with just a few notes; Albert King, Otis rush, all the old blues guys. Thanks, Ray! Deluxe!
Gary Moore style guitar and great vocals...what more could you want?
Loved it!
Thanks, Captain!

Mix / Production
Well balanced mix
Thanks! Instrumentation
The track suddenly sounds slightly empty in solo section at 1:58 – you may have taken too much out
Nice lead guitar sound - had me thinking of Gary Moore
By design. After building the track up until the chorus I wanted to drop things down again for the return to the guitar theme leading into the third verse. I listened again after reading your comment and still think it works, so we will need to agree to disagree on that Vocals
Not that keen on the unison lead, but maybe that’s just me. I prefer the alternate line verse.
I like the harmony sections though
Fair enough. What I really liked
Intro certainly grabs the attention – I like the repeat of the intro riff at the end. Nice touch.
Thanks! What could be improved
Solo at 2:44 sounds too long to me
I’m hearing a lot of ‘lonely’ in the lyric!
Well, the solo is the length of a verse, which to my mind isn't too self indulgent. Unless you don't like guitar solos of course And yes, it's a song about being 'lonely'. Thanks for the listen and honest review, I appreciate it and respect your opinion.

Yep, the guitar opening immediately grips, Chris and Marty sound great together, the bass is spot on, the soloing is excellent, the composition is strong. What's not to like?

Great song! I always like it when two vocals contrast in pitch and timbre to the extent these do. Definitely a duet, but something about this type of choice makes it sound like two people singing together verses trying to sound like a small group or overly blending. kind of that "Can't We Try" feel from Dan Hill and Vonda Shepard a bit. I don't know if I making sense with this? Lyrics, as always, very well done. Diggin' that bass! Man, the ring of that snare and the ghosting makes that track. Happy drummer here. ...and Mr. Tone, you never disappoint. Never! Thanks for sharing your talents. -C

Hi BlueAttitude,
It is a very melodious composition where the guitar and the piano are in full symbiosis. The lyrics are judiciously divided between the two voices. This composition is judiciously constructed and very pleasant. I appreciated. Well done. El the mix is great.
Kindly regard

Dave.
You, Chris and Marty soar way up there in the stratosphere somewhere with this mighty fine effort.
Incredible!
I read where floyd said WHOA <---- that says it all! Brilliant!
The quality of your production is so far beyond anything that I've ever managed to achieve that I'm still trying to pick my jaw up off the floor. I don't know how you did it, but the production I'm hearing is flawlessly first class and then some!
So impressive!
