Very nice work indeed Ray. Poignant lyrics that are getting more relevant to many of us on here I suspect. Beautifully arranged and performed, more lovely piano work from you. Great vox and harmonies and superb songwriting. I love the breakdown around 1:27 and the way you bring everything back up towards the ending. Lovely stuff, well done.

Come back to put this on my iPod and decided if there was ever a song that deserved a bump it is this one.

Sorry I missed this!  Outstanding overall. I agree with everyone's comments and would like to add...maybe change the tempo down just a smidge as although I love the licks played fast, I "feel" it more a cruise than a race? Either way, I love it!

Those things we take for granted - when we're young and immature - will surely return to haunt us when we're old and insecure

This is a beauty ray. Amazing lyrics, and I love your vocals You always put a lot into them emotionally. The music is so good as always. The piano and vocals shine but it's all great mate :)
