Chris' vocal is excellent, of course, and I especially like when she lets loose in verse three.
Guitar solo fits the mood of the lyrics--a very ominous sound.
Production is ace and I like that I can pick out Marty's bass work.
A message to be heeded!

This song strongly reminds me of some symphonic metal bands with a female singer like Nightwish, Within Temptation and Evanescence, but IMO Blue Attitude has created its own style called symphonic blues. Great solemn ballad with powerful development. Excellent vocal, Chris at her best, great dynamics and those backing vocal parts are gorgeous. The guitar solo is a living proof that man has reshaped the world also in a beautiful and harmonic way. And yes, Marty's bass is classic. Powerful painting of Earth and its creatures, although in the beginning, in addition to peace and harmony, I assume there were also fierce volcanos and dinosaurs  From "Then came man" to "The song grew fainter, slipping away like sand." sad decline, but I would like to add "but then came Blue Attitude"  And an excellent video that really speaks to me, all those elements combined into a beautiful art that works both alone and with the song. Now I feel that I have to shelf my song with a similar subject, because there is no more need for it... Congratulations, your hard work has really created another masterpiece. Janne

Really Awesome - Genesis made into Musical -- I think you have the start of Biblical Rock Opera. I like how it builds both lyrically and musically. Great Lyrics (I guess you had a good co-writer ... God Very Nice work ... both song and video

Dave, Marty and Chris,
This is awesome work! When Chris joins the team you often transition from blues to classic rock!
Your work here is tops from beginning to end!
Great choice Dave with those pianos and your guitar is smokin' hot again!
Marty you are kind of out of the spotlight here, but I know that doesn't bother you, you do such fine work making the cake (bass work) while Dave and Chris provide the icing!
Speaking of Chris, she is an absolute pro! What an awesome vocal
I'm proud to know you guys, keep up the good work! TB Wow, you just made my day with that, Torrey! I'll make sure to pass along your comments to Chris also. Thanks! Epic! Super tune, and super performances by all three of you. I'll single out the percussion track, as it sounds very cool and compliments the song and human performances perfectly. But everything on here is perfect. Just...perfect! Toontrack really improved the sound of the percussion with EZDrummer3 in my opinion, much more realistic than it used to be. Thanks, Ron!

Very good stuff here. A lot of folks describe it as epic, and I have to second it. I especially loved Marty's bass lines, and you have such a great feel for what guitar lick should go in and where it should go in, and such a great tone. This one was great.

Awesome Rock.
On your game.
Nice use of the piano.
Love that Bass.
Chris sings Rock Ballads with the Best Of Them.
Solid Guitar (cool tone).
Damn Good Rock.
fj Yep, Chris nailed the vocal, and Marty always comes through on the bass. Thanks, Floyd! Really great man! Quite an epic production!
Sounds like an Bohemian Rhapsody style operatic classic from the golden age of epic!
Very Brian May on the guitars there man! Appreciate that, David!

Dave...this is a masterpiece! everything about this is epic...I love big songs and man this is big!! Chris is exquisite...her vocals are just killer...Marty really nailed the bass part...when it was the piano and bass...that was so good...and Dave you are a master on the guitar...your leads are always perfect fits for the song and your production on this is really good...the drums sound like canons going off...it was rock ballad at its finest...one of your best IMHO! Appreciate that, Dan! Hi, Chris, Marty, and Dave. Epic, Big scope, big sound. Everything about this sounds great. Thanks, David! Love it, Dave. Man. working with you two is a bright highlight in my life. I only wish we got to play these out --not so much to play on stage, but all about getting to play these gems you write more than once. It's been a fun ride for all of us I think, Marty. Thanks!

Operatic Rock at its best! All I can think to say is, "This is simply fabulous in all respects!"
