Pro Review

melody and arrangement and chorus are great. I like the doubling of vocals.

- Barbara Christine Bechler

The voices and instrumentation are very well done, and well recorded.

- John Hazlett

Low key of vocal is different and caught my attention. Anything that catches a listener is a good thing.

Nice vocal on this and I like the unusual step syllable words - very effective and unusual. Lovely harmonies too. Understated chorus is special.

Extremely mellow folk song. Well sung and beautifully played. Vocals were especially good. Instruments were clearly queued to a mic. Midi samples would never sound this genuine.

I really like the way the song starts with the rhythm guitar, very good and unique vocals.

This heart felt song is musical piece of craftmanship that I would play on my budsas I am having one of those "walk and talk with myself" days; out in the wheat fields, or the rocky path enjoying nature and asking myself about so many unanswered questions in the dark places of my past and ... hoping to be a better person upon the sunset and beyond tomorrow. I will be playing this song many times in the future. Highly Recommended!

Very cool, well-written song. Laid back and well mixed. I love the different vocal fx on the hook to make it stand out. Great clarity in the mix and well-used panning. Guitar sounds perfect. Incredible work! Very usable song in many many ways.

Good vocals .I like the lyric and arrangements of this song I like it
nice and smooth quite song

Great original!

melody and arrangement and chorus are great. I like the doubling of vocals.

The voices and instrumentation are very well done, and well recorded.

Beautiful guitar intro. The intro has magic, sets a nice mood before the vocal. The hook vocal sounds vaguely familiar.

Acoustic comes through really nice. The harmony is a nice touch! Great flowing track!
