Scott, Robert and rayc,
The individuality of the three people is exquisitely mixed, creating a unique atmosphere.
Just adding rayc to the usual Spirit Level will change the performance so much.
Robert's vocal is one his best.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Ah, when I signed on here (a lil over an hour ago) this was the first post that caught my eye, and it was half way down the page. My method is to start at the top, so these painted roads were a blip on the map that I couldn't wait to reach --yeah, I know, so is a rest area and gas station. Love that haunting opening, Scott. Ray, great bass and, man, those drums are perfect. You guys have so much fun and a heavy dose of talent. Yeah, played a lot of Guess Who songs over the years, and Undone was my fav. Now I gotta go find that Unohoo, which I haven't heard.

Fun listen, cool sound!  Sadly, SoundCloud cut off the tail end of your song, where the guitar sustain fades to reverb.  Thanks David So glad you had a listen. Glad you liked it as well. Another outstanding offering from you band. Really good listen. The instruments (especially that lead guitar) are well played. The mix is perfect. The vocals are great. The lyrics are top notch, especially this line that I love: "rainbow puddles on lanes of light"
Applause! Thanks for checking out the song. Robert has a wonderful way of describing experiences and life experiences. So glad you liked it. Especially liked the lyrical lead guitar, from the intro and on.
I kept trying to turn it into a apocalyptical piece. (Is that how
that's spelt?) Nice job, Spirit Level. Thanks Ed for checking out the song. Really appreciate your comments. Means allot. Thank you. Glad you liked it. You guys have jumped over your own high bar with this, to us, somewhat stripped down SL sound.
A really cool tapestry with the lyric and fine performances by all on vocals, guitar and bass.
"it ain`t religion
woke me from repose
time to testify
turn failure to prose"
That'll grab you from the get go for an enjoyable SL journey.
Excellent!
J&B
PS, Ozone seems to be working quite well for you Scott!
Thanks Janice and Bud. Really glad you liked it. Robert composed this song out while walking. It is amazing how well he puts works together to describe visual images. Thanks for the thumbs up on the mix. I have been working hard. This mix was very much a collaboration between Robert Ray and myself. It was cool to hear how each one of us heard and envisioned the song and through referencing each others mix came to a center. The mastering is very much a cool process as well. Using compression to manage dynamic range and volume is such a cool science.. Glad you liked the song

Loved it. This has a raw live feel to it and I really liked that. Everything about this is top shelf, great vocals, lyrics, instrumentation, mix, etc.
This is your best to date in IMHO.

I noticed RT guitars are included in the track list header; the rhythm guitars are actually both Ray`s; other than drums he`s the band bedrock here. Just making sure credit goes where it belongs!
I appreciate all the positive comments.

Spirit Level,
Love that opening guitar riff . . . really cool verse melody. This, to me, has a really commercial sound . . . “radio ready” as they say, with a 90’s alt sound perhaps. Robert’s vocal sits so well in the mix here—the production is first, first rate. Boy, this is really good. Congrats on another great single, gents.
My very best to you all,
Deej Thanks Deej for checking out the song and the awesome comments. Really appreciate it. Glad you liked the song. Team, Saw this couple of days ago, but wanted to listen with clear head. Not to be polite, but actually try listening to it  First impression: I like it! There is no point of nit picking. It has a raw cut semi improvised feel, which polishes all rough spots like a file, yet has pretty unusual lines and hooks that grab without mercy. Definitely a success. Robert, nice vocals and phrasing! It is a bit different, but works really well with this particular tune. Ray, excellent playing. Done listening second time, bass still "walks" in my ears. Scott, cool atmospheric guitar, adds a different dimension to this tune! If there ever an album, this would make a great mid-list tune, to pivot remaining in any direction. Thank you for sharing! Misha. Thanks Misha for checking out the song. Really appreciate your comments. Glad you liked the song. A great deep-dive into classic rock territory with lyrics, vocal melody and guitar tone and licks. Solid driving rhythm and a clear mix. Hugely enjoyed. Thanks Tangmo So glad you liked the song.

I'll try not to repeat what others have said, but I will just quickly mention the standouts for me.
Guitar opening pulls you right in like a rip tide.
Robert's vocal are his best, really stand out.
Love the bassline.
I enjoyed the overall mood of the song.

Lovely classic sounding guitar riff, works great as the intro and nicely used later. The bass and Scott's guitar play very well together, I think no RT bass could do that. Robert's voice is almost unrecognizable, probably singing in a different way than usually, but anyway I like it, sounds like young Robert  Lyrically this is quite a painting which is not easily opened, vivid images, feels like a long obscure walk from a bar to home, but it is rewarding to step on these musically spirited painted roads. Janne

Man, the energy on this track is off the chart. That guitar starts it off, then a great vocal by RKC. Best ever, I think. Great work all!

Howdy Scott, Ray and Robert.
I love that opening guitar riff. The tone, texture and melodic shape are perfect!!!
As others have noted, you've raised the bar with this on all levels. I love the ambience you all create when lyrics, arrangement and production join hands work together. It's very cool. A standout for me was how you used the stereo field. This is something I struggle with so it was great to listen to what you did. You gave me ideas!
All the best,
Noel
