I wrote this song a year and a half ago and recorded it.... while I really loved the song a lot I felt it needed more than it had. A couple months ago I asked Mike if he would re do the music completely from scratch. I had intended to do something else with the vocals that didn't work out...
Mike put a ton of work into this...he did a superb job with the drums, bass, and guitar,,,, and just the overall vibe.
I sat on it for a long time kind of afraid to face the vocals really.... but then I swallowed all that was holding me back and tried my best with the help of a little electronic make up ....
then i added a lead guitar in the back drop.
thank you Mike for rescuing this song.

I like the drums in the beginning, a lot.
And The reverb on the vocals are a bit much, but works very well in the whole mix.
And I love the guitar solos in the far background.
Well done!!!
Rene

This SHOULD be in the psych-fest - it's tripping off its tits. Plus, as a new recording, it qualifies. I love your vocal on this - it's magnificent. What a collaboration: I'm blown away by how good this is. The panned guitars and bass are immense, and I like that psych-sounding finger cymbal thing going on - really adds to the retro vibe. AMAZING STUFF!!!!!

Oh yeah, great track and excellent collab, guys. Everything trippy and beautifully weird. Love that pulsing drum (bodhrán?) and those mad guitars just make this very special.

This is fantastic guys. Your vocals Stephen sound really good, different somewhat than your usual vocals, really good and nice and clear.
The music from Mike is amazing. Everything from the guitars to the drums, love the tambourine in there. It is definitely a psychedelic vibe, sounds like something from the 60's.

Oh, great that this popped up again! I've heard this several times, but my comments are missing (in action).
Such a psychedelic swirly goodness with great vocs! Certainly a higlight of your musical year of 2022. Mikes the man and Stephens too. Together they make cool music too.

I am thrilled to have caught this bump, a fantastic wonderment! It's movie credit worthy, nothing better than to scramble on google to find the song on the ending of some movie or show that moves your mind.
Yes, I love it

Has that cool psychedelic vibe going on that lose yourself in the music and vocals vibe. ideal festival song for that reason alobne. the guitar was cool
