ken just keeps them coming, when i first listened to what he sent i got the title from the riff, but then that was stuck in my head and i got a mental block and couldn't find a way in with a vox/lyric, but then it just came. again i want to redo this,  i hear lots of errors on the vox but oh well.

What a fantastic intro riff. I love this song to bits. Everything builds so well and rocks along superbly. Another mighty fine vocal from James, and the guitar work is outstanding. Juicy tones and fine skills. Wow!

p.s. Would have preferred a big, climactic ending rather than a fade-out, but you can't have everything I suppose!

Fantastic.  When the vocal started up it was not what i was expecting at all, the soft mellow delivery, it shocked me a bit, but you know what, it works perfect.  It is the only way to sing this one.   This is very good, modern, now style rocker.  This could be a big radio hit fellas.  Brilliant singing and lyrics Jim.  Ken, you are a musical genius, no kidding around here.  I love your arrangements.  Great song guys.

I thought I would post this, - the first take on this.
I'm partial to this one as I love the way Jim's 1 vocal track works with the message. It has a softer quality that I just love.

Absolutely fantastic guitar playing in this one, gives the song a real uplifting feel and that is some serious playing there in that solo.
Jim's vocal tone and delivery compliments the music perfectly.
Would have liked it to be a bit longer, but only because I didn't want it to end!

I'm digging this fine one!!  Mighty fine guitar work Ken, and cool laid back vocals, luv the octave vocal doubling Jim ~  Got a nice uplifting vibe!

CooL delay fx on the solo, have you started using riffworks by any chance, Ken?
