Beautiful song with a thick 80's vibe and a rich modern sound. The vocals are to die for, with beautiful and and imaginative harmonies. The mix sounds just great on my headphones with those wonderful reverb/delay sounds. Everything about this song screams talent. My wife was a clubber in the 80's and she loved this tune, so there you go!

Of the three songs I've heard from you on here, though I like "Summer" better as a song, this one is the most completely realized as a finished production. Excellent mix.

Yeah, this does have a new wave sound to it and that's good -- the mix is well done and pleasing to the ears. And, your vocals are perfect for the style. Hope you get some traction with it. !!

I know this song was posted well over a year ago, but I just discovered it, and I can't stop listening to it. Love absolutely everything about it - the disappearance and re-emergence of parts, the constant filter changes on the various synth sounds, the vocal harmonies and perfect amount of reverb, the drop in melody from "shoulders" to "yourself" in the chorus... I could go on and on. Reminds me of the best songs I've heard of Erasure. Could have been a big hit in the '80s, and should be really popular today as well. I hope you're pushing this in as many outlets as you can, because it deserves to be heard!

Terrific song and mix! I like your use of delay, and your vocals are to die for. This sounds very fresh today, and it leaves me wanting more. Kudos

Unquestionably 80s sounding and I love the vocal and the vocal effects. The keyboard instrumentation is also interesting. Well produced piece.  John B

So many good, well recorded songs in this forum that get buried dozens and dozens of pages deep after getting only 10 or so comments. Unavoidable I'm sure, but I'll certainly try to comment on some of the submissions that have gotten buried in the bowels of the forum. There's a lot of talent here that deserves to be heard!
