Hi Tom,
Thanks a lot for listening, and your detailed comment! I appreciate the compliments, and totally understand your points on the guitar being a little loud in spots, and on the violin part. Both valid points. I'm glad you liked it though! Thanks again!

Bob, this song sounds huge, in spite of your nits.  I agree with everyone else, your vocals and guitar are the real deal.  That must have been a lot of fun to write and record.  I'm glad I could hear it.

I always like listening to your stuff.  It has that 90's rock/metal feel, with a nice progression on the verses.  I like the vocal performance and the delay effect, it works.  There were a few places it sounded like you were stretching your range, but it mostly worked well, to my ears.  Loved that solo too, nice one.  You have a good songwriting sensibility.  Drums were a little bland, but that's hard to judge since it's a ballad.  If this came on the radio I would turn it up every time.

Thanks bro! I feel the same about your stuff. I know whenever you have a song posted it's gonna be good(btw, when's your next one coming out)! I agree on the drums. They weren't recorded very well. I appreciate the compliments man! Thanks for listening!

Great melodies and a good contrast between parts

Thank you kakku!

I was expecting it to sound like crap.   Fortunately for my ears it did not.  
 
Sure, it could sound better by today's standards and using today's technology.   But for a 12 year old "home production" I thought it was pretty good.   Loved the vocals... and the short guitar solo with its feedback outro. 

Hi Steve! I'm glass it didn't sound as bad to you as I described! I appreciate you listening and the kind words, man!

You know what? It's a good song, but I would redo this song as a live YT video with just you and the acoustic guitar. I think you'd be surprised how good it would sound like that. The electric guitar is distracting in my humble opinion. Really, just you and the acoustic where you can really put your heart into it. Give it a try. I want to hear it. Have that video on my desk by Monday.
