Lyrics/ Vocals- ORH
Music/ Opening vocals- Ken Davidsen
Nice collab guys, great harmonies on a deep, rich backing. I used to work 15-16 hour days so I can relate to the lyrics and they have my sympathy. Good song writing...............Willie
Great atmospheric piece.
I still do some very long days - but not every day! I'm not sure I could cope if it was every day.
Actually I'm totally certain I couldn't.
Really enjoyed this.

This is really fine. Loved the harmonies - the beginning set reminded me of the Beach Boys. Excellent musicianship and songwriting throughout...it's a winner!
I love the Brian Wilson like opening harmonies...fantastic! This is a good collab. guys! ORH's vocals fit well and the guitars are very crisp and clear...nice one! I also live in an area where the unemployment rate is near 20%....not many jobs for the young ones.

Very nice song love the harmonies Can definately relate to the song

great writing, fabulous harmonies and lead vocal, the intro is oustanding. And a poignant subject, I have worked away mon-fri every week ,one spell for 3 years, and I know the feeling oh so well, used to hate monday mornings!
great song

Great song... I wake up every day saying the same thing. I've even suggested to the wife to get another job so I can retire LOL... I'm thinking a lot of fishing is in store for my retirement... Just me my boat and some fish in a lake seems to be the tranquility I need!!!! Oh and maybe a dog!!! That's it... me, my boat, and my dog on a lake with lots of fish!!! Yah thats it. Beauty guys!!!
Fine collab guys! Very well constructed and a timely subject! Love it!
Great collab, get the beach boys thing, but the vibe struck me, lots of unemployed young people here too and they,ve raised the retirement age, so how do they get a start?
when davidsen sent me the file yesterday morning, it had a title and was a completed song to my ears, he told me what it was about and asked for some words. so my job was easy, it is an honour and a privilege to be part of HD.
that D guy rocks.
Wow......
This is very very impressive.
Super collab!!!!!

Great collab......
top class collab-
brilliant harmonies -great overall recording --
congrats --
Very nice job! A fun listen the first time through and getting surprised with the changes.
This song has such a rich quality to it. Been listening to it on headphones, and it just emphasises just how well this is mixed, everything sounds in just the right place and at the right level.
Lovely guitar work Ken, love the how you have blended the two guitar parts together. Jim's lead vocal and the harmonies are out of this word.
You've got some really cool things going on here.
Then some other stuff too. Don't overproduce, is my stupid opinion.
A lovely collab indeed.
The music is moving and Jim is spot on as usual.
just powerful - a few words and music tell a story and a feeling. And how!
This is absolutely brilliant! Serious quality on the performances, and a really lush production. A top notch collab. Those Beach Boys harmonies are so well done...
The vocal arrangement is really well done. Nice song!

I've missed this gem earlier!!
Agree with the Beach Boys comparison on intro!
Amazing job, guys!!
Nice choir intro. The tune carries through with a sweet serene sound. Reminds me a little of the Eagles back in the day. Guitar tone is great. Good song guys.
