Peter and Leon, great job guys. As just about everyone here as mentioned, it was a good overall write and mix, but man, that ending is killer! I've never used a tin whistle, or listened to them much for that matter, but to my ears it was just a little loud in the mix, but take that with a grain of salt - that may be just what you were looking for. Good song guys.

Now that is a good song, my friends!

I enjoyed the folksy feel with the looking back lyrics, followed by the cool guitar driven ending.

The mix overall sounds really good to me—vocal sits nicely in the mix. Really smooth arrangement—well done! Love that stop at 3:50 and the ending from there on—very creative and well executed. Great job, guys!

Thanks a lot Deej.

The vocal effect was cool (a doubling effect?)

Loved the ending.

(I like the art work, too)


Thanks Floyd the doubling was in fact 2 vocals.

Glad you liked the ending.

Peter & Leon,
This is an excellent write- its not east to be original with a missing love theme, but your subtlety does just that.
I like Leon`s vocals ( the double effect could maybe have been broken up rather than throughout)- sung with conviction.
That ending is amazing- not just because Peter`s guitar is fantastic; the way it adds heat to the underlying passion of the song gave me goosebumps!

I'm a bit undecided about the vocal sound, on one hand it sounds a bit too processed, on the other hand it fits the song.

But it doesn't sound bad at all, so it's all good smile

Wow. Terrific lines that hit home here.

Wishing you the strength to manage all of those issues. Peace.

Very beautiful folky song. Really like the chording and how it reflects the deeply touching story.
Lovely tin whistle, gives timeless feeling, I'm very glad you used also, fits perfectly smile That pleasant acoustic guitar (3544) was also used in my song. Great ending, that solo is like straight from the best Dire Straits songs and the drumming rolls ahead nicely. Great vocals. Another masterful creation to relish alone.

“Finally discovered what freedom truly meant
On the day that I gave her my heart

What a thrill to know that someone cares
Every pleasure’s sweeter if it’s shared”

Those lines above are especially endearing to the romantic Janice (who believes she returns to him by the way!) smile

We love the tin whistle; it emphasizes the mournful feeling.

Leon’s double vocals sound really good, as does the entire production. (Bud has been wanting to try this with Janice for awhile now.)

Your awesome guitar outro is perfect.

Kudos!

Peter and Leon,

Man, it's great to be able to hear fresh material that harkens back to the styles of the 70's instead of the common fare on the radio these days! Loved this tune! Great vocals by Leon! That whistle is a good choice for this! The chorus is awesome! Loved the up-tempo section at the end...kind of a cross between Layla and Freebird! Great job with the solo work!

Thanks, Torrey
