This is neato!  I was expecting a little more testosterone in James's solo, but it suits the song fine.

Thanks David.
I have to agree, James' solo is perfect for the style.

Chorus kills. So very catchy. Middle-aged ennui. Raise your hand. Everyone? Yes, I thought so.
 
James, excellent feel on that guitar as per usual.
 
Spot on, I'd say.

Really well done. It’s so upbeat and catchy that the only thing that strikes me weird is the line “though we no longer love in the same way”. Not sure what that means and it’s none of my business, but it seems like a bit of a buzz kill. Maybe, just maybe I have totally taken this all wrong - would not be the first time. Good tune, terrific playing and singing.



Thanks for the compliments - Bill (Wayfarer) has the meaning spot on. It is meant as bitter-sweet

Daryl,
 
Fantastic track.   Sounds current but with a hint of an 80's nod in the drum track (i.e. synthetic cowbell and general sound)   Like it very much. 
 
Cool guitar solo as well.   Reminds me a little of David Gilmour.   
 
Regards

Oh, I totally get it. Every marriage or other romantic relationship grows a little cold over time. You still love each other, but it's not the fiery kind of love you once had. It's more refined for some when they realize there are more important things than romantic love such as trust, loyalty, and selflessness. For others it's not that at all but instead becomes more of a love of circumstances, a comfortable home life. It's fine--just different.
 
Good song guys. Well done.
 
Bill


Thanks so much Bill - spot on with the song meaning sir!

Catchy tune in a laid back style, just the way a song should be.
I like the "medal for mediocrity" I have a trophy case full of them.

This is great.  It has the whole package -- good lyrics, catchy hooks, solid instrumentation, and the vocals are a good match with the tune.  Like the hot ending. 
 
Well done guys.

Daryl, you most definitely have your own sound.  All of the songs I've heard of yours have something in them that links them together, sound wise.  That's what I love about the great Burt Bacharach.  You know from the first bar or two that it's a Bacharach song.  Yours are becoming that way too.  Not saying all of your tunes sound the same, but are in the same style and same overall sound.  The Staypress Sound.  Be proud of it.
