Great job Farrell / Ed, I do like those lyrics. This is a very solid tune, it does have that Beatles thing going on with the rhythm. Could possibly bring the vocals up a tiny bit? But a great song all round... a great intro too!

Thanks all for the comments!

Mike: Thanks for the feedback. You are right about the vocal level needing to be brought up a little. I'm going to add some backing vocals and on the remix I'll make sure to bring the lead vocal up...Thanks!

Sublime guitar work, especially the slide. Very cool song as well with an excellent melody. I dig it!

That opening with slide style reminds me of Beatle George, which I think is a great thing. I like how its melody comes back in the verses. A great backer (love how the organ sounds with those drums), with great additions on top.

Great collab - I loved it, Farrell!

Love it, a really catchy song with a massive sound. My only comment would be similar to Mike's, the mix is so massive that the vocals are getting lost a bit, and it would help if you could make a bit more space for the lead guitar breaks. But it is a lovely, massive sound and it's a great song with real potential. Looking forward to hearing it with backing vox.....

The intro could have been written by Harrison , truly impressive composition for you both , love the harmonica break , vocals are brilliant ,the music and guitar breaks are first class, altogether one cracking song from start to finish !! loved it

I always look forward to your posts.  The quality and attention to detail is always humbling. Reminds me of something that might sit on an album by The Bears. Always loved Belew's pop side.

Great post.
