Hey Dave, Yes, I agree with a lot of what's been said already, very cool, like the stream of consciousness sense as Juri was mentioning. I keep hearing shades of John Lennon in your vox in this tune, which is just fine by me! The production and mix sound great as well. An awesome job all around! Cheers! Amy

Wow, Dave, this is really complex and detailed - the rhythmic devices alone are commendable, and you pulled off the harmonies, the poly rhythms, the dense texturing of guitars feels light and happy - how did you do that? This is an achievment; I feel like I have entered your fertile imagination with this track. Love the pop sensibilities - and as usual, your lyrics are in a class all by themselves. I have a new one up called "Pray" when you get time. Johnny

Hi Dave, I love this one. This is very early 60s style. A very unique melody. Sounds like you are working too much YOUNG man! This song is very inspiring to me. Makes you long for a simpler time. Nice lead as always. Your lead sounds are A1 and forgot to mention how much I was impressed with your lead work on Chosen as I heard it a zillion times. LOL! Good work Dave.

Yes,that's very much a Brit-Pop during Swinging London's era,but ,then,I'm hearing here something from Queen and Surf/Shadow-style guitar-outbreak with a lil' psychodelic bend.Very interesting mixture of your influences packed in pretty original shell of your personal ways of delivery.The main thing that strikes me as very interesting and unusual approach is kinda stream-of-consciousness sequence of the musical snippets... with not very firm hooks (which is not a big issue for me)...but rather like quickly turning the pages of the family's foto-album..where you get some vague assossiations from the past that somehow are caleidoscopily metamophin' into each other.Likey!!!.High ranks for the originality!!
