Yeah brilliant stuff, really looked forward to the bass solo as I read the comments as listening and it was as mentioned pretty damn good. Everything so good here, will get future listens from me anyway. Great song.

I could see this as being a Peter Gabriel era genesis song.  You're giving Tony Banks a run for the money on the piano here!  I'm always an admirer of your sophisticated lyrics. And the Bass solo - now that's rare and unique and awesome!

Wonderful song Ray, those dark piano chords are so melancholic and the lyric is very thoughtful as always. I love the subtly of the arrangement here, like those jangley layers of quiet guitar. Beautiful fretless bass and harmonies too!

A big wow and smile from me. Smart and unexpected in multiple spots, including the end. The
piano is incredible here. A lovely performance and mix.

We should have ditched the whole Dylan/Donovan fest thing and gone with the Ray Brookes fest instead. We have the real deal here.

Wonderful songwriting and production. A class act.

If i was to nitpick i wasn't 100% into the drum sounds. They were a bit too sterile. The sounds as is might work, but some "sweetening" might have done good. Especially those sole snare drum hits + tom tom fills.

Well now, even these horror-tone laptop speakers can't stop the tasty originality from percolating through. Lovely production, playing  and almost stream-of-consciousness lyrics. Very enjoyable. Well done.  8)

Very deep lyrics that seem to come from a special place in the heart.  The music creates a most compelling backdrop.  I especially like how you ended it.

By and large, jazz has always been like the kind of a man you wouldn't want your daughter to associate with.

OK to cover but please let me know first.  Thanks!

A top-notch song Ray with some very fine lyric and vocals. When the drums enter it takes the production up a notch and when the solo enters it does it again! You have a lot of dynamic shifts here which gives it that professional touch. More than well done Ray!
