Big thanks to Geir for guitar. And when I wasn't happy with my own vocals, Geir did those for me too.

monto buenno byrawaymamen!
Oh yeah!
This is how you do it. Like this.
Loads and loads going on - it's fantastic!
Thats some damn good lyrics, the whole song is a marvel, it soars and struts. Hell of a hard song to sing, so many great words to spit out. Well, I feel so good from listening to this, Ted and Geir, thats some combo. Thats a song.
Your vocals are brilliant on this Geir,and the collab on music is great as well.
The recording is crystal clear.

Nicely observed lyrics, lovely guitar (like that wah effect). And Geir sounding like Mark Knopfler for me.
Good work.
:)

Man I love this line..........thats lyrics.
Nice work, gents - this is a tight little rocker.
Brilliant stuff!
Rock On!
Thank you !! And, most of all, thank you Ted for letting me be a part of this great song !!
Ted's lyrics are (as usual) brilliant, but as some have observed, not that easy to sing ;D well I did my best :) !
Glad you liked it !
Loved the piano you added since last I heard it Ted !!

That would be my BR80, with some editing and smoothing out of the vocals done in Auria on the ΠPad
Thank you everyone.

Well, thank you, Bluesberry. That image of a guy on a sailboat, that's someone specific. I didn't know him back when he owned a sailboat, but I confirmed (through is girlfriend) that Camus was an author he would have read.

You did great with the vocals. I knew you would.
I originally thought this was going to be a punk song -- hence the speed. But once I got into production, it started to have a different feel, so I spent some time with a keyboard arrangement.
Awesome tune! Love the smoothness all the way through and to the end especially.
An Africa to Norway collab. Now that`s new :) The Ted lyrics are genius and Geir singing them is genius.
Great song!
This is super sweet, I love it. All parts are excellent and the bass line is brilliantly bad ass, like Butch Vig and his midwestern accent "Baayid Aayiss" or something like that.
And Geir isn't too shabby either. He might amount to something someday, you just wait and see :)
wow this does rock... actually very cool twists and turns... and yet sort of punkish but still popish too... it sort of reminds me of some of the rockers from the 70's by Elton John, stuff like The Bitch is Back... trust me I did plenty of listening to that stuff..
the vocals are super too...really got a lot of energy and performance...lots of soul...yeah... I like the comp here///
early Elton John.. and that is about as good as it gets.
note: I just heard Surfing to Penzig on the my playlist the other day... so I was glad to see this bump by Launched.
