Oh, man, you are so right, Janne. I added the BiaB info from a different song. HAHA. A "high threshold for asking for help" is a very sad situation. The whole world needs a revolution for a resolution.

Well constructed composition. The lyrics are of a truth that many politicians should learn from. The voice and the guitar solo are very pleasant. Well done.

Thanks, Derochette. Unfortunately Truth is not on any politicians priority list, and often just gets in his way.

He sets it up, and you score the goal. Your vocal delivery really stands out - I want to hear no more of how you're not a good singer, etc., haha ... you're brilliant and you really communicate what you have to say.

Bravo, bravo, to the both of you. Hats off.

Ah, thanks, James. YOU cheer me up all the time, too, brother.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Marty

If we had started the day with doldrums this certainly would have lifted them!

Your warm vocal presents a great message and Dave’s guitar truly soars on this one.

All is so good - the lyric, melody, band, your bass track, the mix and the vid -- meaning the whole package. smile

Although the last two years have definitely shown us all how much we value friendships, thanks for this excellent reminder!

Man, I dig that about you guys. There is no "If I started the day..." JaniceAndBud is one word. Doldrums always fly right by the Merritt household.

Thanks, Scott. I always felt the drummer defines the song, and the bass is the glue between all the instruments, the one who can connect directly with the front folks --soloists and singers. I always liked being the guy that backstage people would say, "Oh, you're in the band, too." hehe Hey,I stumbled across your YT channel the other day. You gotta do more. It was great watching and hearing you play.

Well deserved --even actually somewhat reserved-- accolades, Dave. You are more than welcome, and always such an elevating addition to any song --any style.
