FIND MY WAY BACK HOME This song was originally an instrumental that Ron Helm and I decided to put some lyrics to! It's probably the only track I've shared that all the guitars are acoustic. Thanks for your time to check it out!

Hi Torrey,
Good song and good lyrics.
Not sure about the "doubled" vocals. You have a good singing voice so maybe the doubling could be a bit lower in volume or maybe just on the choruses.
Otherwise - excellent.
Best Regards

Nice. Reminds me of some of Chris Rea's work and style. "The Road to Hell".

Fantastic song, Torrey. Love the way your layered harmony lines add a new dynamic. Those guitar fills sound like they could be an electric, so nice job coaxing the acoustic to do that. Excellent mix and production throughout. Just fabulous.

Excellent!
Love the storytelling, the vocals, the instruments, the production...
This short flute/synth/whateveritis solo is a VERY cool idea.
Enjoyed the listen.
A lot!

Torrey...this is another stellar song from you and Ron....your vocal and instrumental mastery are shining through....I love the arrangement and nuances you've incorporated...the BGV's are "the best"....I love songs with the prodigal theme and feel...they are so redemptive and encouraging...a light to the path we sometimes find ourselves on...this theme crosses over so well...but I think I know who you're writing about.
One nit: I think I agree with Nigel about the effect on the solo vocal...your vocals are always so clear and clean...that would be my preference here as well...IMHO.

Excellent song Torrey! Absolutely loved that intro., and that bass was strong throughout. Cool lead lines and chord progression too. As a great overall production as always. I do have one question, I hadn't expected that modulation at the end. It came as a surprise to me. It sounds good, I was just wondering if you threw it in for Dan's sake?

Hi, Torrey. You had me hooked from the start.  Good melody, well sung, nice lyrics, engaging guitar parts. Cool outro. I agree that the vocal didn't need doubling, but I didn't find it distracting. Nice work!

Nigel Thanks for listening and commenting! I was on the fence about the vocal doubling! I have an updated version up now that only has the lead vocal doubled in the chorus and bridge sections. TB

Now that's how to produce Music. Excellent production, full sounds, great vocals, everything fits together perfectly, the lyrics, melody, vocals, lead guitar, mix.
One item ... you nearly lost me with a full minute of Ads before it started playing. But it was worth the wait.

This is a groovy laid-back song, Torrey. Great lyrics, instrumentation and mix. I particularly like that chorus. Really excellent all around
