Thanks so much Steve & Mike! 

Steve, you have such a way with words.
I did experience a similar situation way back in my youth.  The kind of girl who thought every boy was her boyfriend.  You know the type.

Excellent track - really tight production on it too, vocals nicely mixed and the slow build of strings throughout sounds brill, and the piano sounds lovely. Great work!

[Lurker]

This is just amazing. There is so much going on here that works. I could make a list, but I'd run out of space. You've interlaced so many elements that create a beautiful production.

The melody provides an uncertainty that compliments the lyrics so well. The use of strings and harmonies is brilliant.

This is just amazing.

Bishmanrock & Lurker- Thank you both so much!

I love your adventurous melodies. I am curious if Brian Wilson is a big influence. They immediately catch my ear. Another tune that makes me wish I had spent more time on the piano. Nice introduction of the strings after that pregnant pause.

Really lovely tune.

Incredible chord progression - bass in pocket throughout!  I could never find a melody line like you have with your very distinctive vocal.

I am picturing vocal backup singers in places.

Great composition and performance.

Mike

Production value is very high as well.

I've heard this oh so many times. Never commented as i felt i wasn't ready to put it into words. I'm still feeling that way.

I really love the vocal melodies and vocal sound JohnBee is able to conjure and he's certainly my most favourite composer of complex songs. He has an interesting way of writing heady stuff yet keeping them rooted into reality so simpletons like yours truly can appreciate them. I think music like this could act as a "gateway drug" towards more refined musical genres. If only i'd hear music like this in the early days i might have not turned out such a sinner and player of devils music

All kidding aside. I truly enjoy your songwriting, performances and the art you're putting out there!

Tasteful production and arrangement, has a jazz quality the the style and arrangement very much with a classic songwriter sound you would find with piano players. nice piano and percussion
