Superb production in all respects.
Top notch song, well sung, and arranged. Good luck with it.

Torrey,
It doesn’t get any better than this . . . truly, this song NAILS every aspect of what makes a tune great. It’s a master class in songwriting and production . . . and without a doubt one of the best tunes I’ve heard on this forum. I’ve never been more impressed. Absolutely brilliant!
My very humble regards,
Deej

Torrey...this is such a poignant and beautiful piece of music...the lyrics are so touching and terribly true for so many people..it could only have been written by a retrospective heart and an honest soul...I commend you for that...I love the keyboard work...the gentle ballad flow...your vocals are some of your best...I agree wholeheartedly with Floyd about the production/arrangement value and with Ray that "everything about the song is fabulous"! Thanks Dan for those encouraging words! T

Torrey, I really can't say much more than what others have said here, but I just had to say something. Like everyone, I think your production is pure perfection, and so it's impossible to separate one aspect from another in order to comment. I really hope someone records this one and it gets a lot of play. Yes, it would be good for you, but I believe it would be so good for so many others.
It is this song in itself that sets this apart from others. The words and emotions poured into this song are so relatable and experienced by so many who still feel "has anyone but me ever felt this way?" This song needs to be heard. Thanks for sharing and putting a lot of yourself into this. I know a guy who once wrote a song recorded by Kenny Rogers. Apparently Rogers almost didn't record it because he was intimated by the demo - he didn't think he could sing it any better. I could see where you could potentially face the same problem with this one.
You write a lot of songs that touch a lot of people. I believe this to be among your best, Torrey.
Congratulations,
Brad

Before I listened to it, I read the lyrics and damn, they are really good and strong. Even without the music, this would be a pretty good poem.
And the song doesn't disappoint, I'm not surprised it's getting interest. So far my favorite of your songs.
I'd love to see this song take off... Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment! T

Fantastic, this sounded like an instant classic from the first sounds of the intro, as already stated one of the best tunes on this forum.
Lyrically very touching and one of those rare cases when it feels how the writer means every single word. The superb vocals interpret the message with strong passion.
This is how a perfect and original chord progression should be, keeping interest throughout the song and reflecting strong emotions.
The production and the mix cannot be better than this, all you need is there.

This one hit home. Fortunately my parents and I patched things up many years prior to God taking them.
Everything is absolutely professional in this one.
Your best to date IMHO.
Loved it.
Unclear if the pianist is a total beginner or a professional jazz player?

You're right, Torrey. This is different than your "usual." One thing it has in common is how good good good it is. Love the title and the song idea. Cool piano, and all you do in there makes it all so much better. Very tasteful and a very satisfying mix. Outstanding heartfelt lyrics. Life isn't for regrets --only improvement, and, man, you have that in so many ways. Thanks Marty! Your comments are always so encouraging! T

Torrey, this is great in every way.
I love how the chorus moves from "I", to "you", then to "we".
Masterful and deep. Thanks so much for the kind words! T

Excellent lyric and performances!
We also particularly liked the progression in the choruses from “you” to “I” to “we” and there are too many favorite lines to quote.
Your vocal is stellar and the piano is perfect for this write.
Good luck with the song. It will be hard for anyone to top your version!

Hi Torrey
Very touching song
Has a very nice melody
And your vocals work out the thoughtful theme very nicely
Is of course a partly sad song for all to whom the lyrics apply.
In any case very successful song
Thank you for letting us hear it
And good luck that the song becomes even more famous
Many greetings
Andi ;-) Thanks Andi! I appreciate it! T

Top-notch lyric writing.
I really like the piano sound. It give the song its emotional base.
Effective change in dynamics around 2:45.
Great song.

Man! This is right up there with your best, Torrey, and that's saying something!
Just an excellent write from you and Ron, and the performance is your usual high standard.
Great to read that it's generating some interest, I hope it gets recorded and becomes a hit, how cool would that be?
Very much enjoyed, and good luck! Thanks Dave! Your comments mean a lot to me! T

Not what I expected, but I love it! You don't usually sing in the lower register, because my first thought about the vocal was "Who is this guy? He sounds really good! Time marches on through fields of broken dreamsGreat write, emotional vocal, excellent production. You and Ron knocked it out of the park!  Thanks, David, for the kind words! T

Hi Torrey,
I can imagine you had some doubt sharing this song. But I'm glad you finally did!
A beautiful song and lyrics with that great metaphor about the apple and the tree.
In a way it is also very recognizable.
You sing it very well, with the passion this song deserves. But that is always your quality.
I enjoyed it a lot, Torrey!
Hans
