you may not be a thespian but you sure understand the minds of humans...

the lyrics are deep... and this line really caught me as such truth... "We all fight a different private war
From our own different private trench"

also impressed that the author was able to write this while floating in the steamy hot tub... which I think shows depth of understanding what matters... and while the author demonstrates a light anger toward the subject person, actually anger isn't even the right emotion... kind of sympathy toward the absurdity of the other persons actions... and he isn't going to allow it to ruin his life... and that is precious in my book... refuse to get dragged into others drama!  classic.

a great song and that is why I have it on repeat.  the music is gorgeous.  I can always tell it is you but your songs are generally very different from one another... that is really impressive.
 when the music ramps up just before those lines I mentioned makes this a real smash....
production is also stellar.

Beautiful Ray, really enjoyed this. You have a great gentle touch on the acoustic, but razor sharp at the same time. This is great.

Funny enough I'm listening to this on Saturday afternoon.( Luckily it doesn't feel like Monday morning )
This is great songwriting. Brilliant music and vocals Ray. Love the acoustic fingerpicking, the panning sounds great and a great mix as always.
I have 2 profiles on this site, (NOW COMBINED INTO ONE PROFILE PAGE)
 One is a musical partnership with Keith Allen, ( we record songs as "The Devil's Toupee").
The 2nd one is for my other musical projects and collaborations. (DarrenG)
Thanks for listening.

I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

You get such a nice acoustic tone. What is the guitar and signal chain if you don't mind my asking.

Another wonderful post. The vocal melodies really resonated with me. Once again, next level stuff.

"Saturday afternoon but it feels like Monday morning", I like that line.
As usual the track is rich in melodic pleasure.
Your vocal on this is excellent.
The playing is outstanding.
Nice one.
