0.00002 cents: Sarah's Resolve is title perfect. Lyrics are sweet, rhyming, top-notch. To increase my love for this (and/or mainstream this) I'd refine, somewhat, the dominant element more: The Lead Vox and backing vocal(s): The lead still feels sketchy and awkward ... too dominant, upfront, and/or in-your-face. While acceptable, I'd possibly consider starting out much softer and incrementing the 'sudden' lead vox gradually. (Else weigh the acoustic guitars a bit heavier so I don't slam the volume down 3 dcbs during at the 1st verse) And/or the pad element (flanger-guitar, strings, or such) could fill the some dead-spaces at more places and/or compliment vocals. OTOH, my ears would hate vocal masking of this sensitive piece. So forgive my ineptness. 2:30 Backing is extremely sweet. 2:51 Guitar crying ... I might have more of that ... earlier, I don't know. "As your night turns into day" and the 'on' rhymes are cool majestic hooks.

Thanks Tom, glad you liked it Hi Manny, great to see you, I know you're not easily impressed, so that means a lot. you're right, the song does create a melancholy feeling that lasts. Hey Bob - very kind and encouraging words, thank you very much

Great performance and sound on all fronts, cept the l.vox being a bit too up front (before the layering, anyway). Sounds appropriate towards the end, but at the top.....Seems a bit hot. Totally loving the acoustic guit sound, and the 'lectric solo is shweet. Diggin' the tambourine accents, also.
Well done, fellers....

Philip - Thank you for your most detailed critique. I don't sing very often and I'm not comfortable with my own voice. I have many shortfalls regarding this and maybe someday I'll be able to bring my vox up a few nothches by actually practicing singing. But, like all my good intentions... Janet - Glad you liked it!! John - Sarah is doing fine John!! Thanks fer listening!! Rob - We'll have to revisit the mix and check out the volume of the vox. We all appreciate sticking yer head in and giving this a listen along with the critique..We do pay attention! I've yet to hear James put out a bad guitar solo!

Larry and James, thanks for letting me sit-in with the band. This is a really good song, and I enjoyed doing the harmonies on this.
To everyone who commented on the BGV's, thanks.
Larry, I'm neither shy, nor skurrred. I've been busy with your Christmas present. Since I mentioned it, does anyone know how long a fresh woodchuck pelt should dry before I Fedex it?

Larry, James and Randy Very nice to hear a voice(s) behind the SMB. Larry's got a cool voice despite having a American accent, blimey that must be tough fer you guys, everyone must think you are tourists wherever you go... Of course I must point out I'm only kidding here before I spark an international incident. Ya I'm getting that Ventura highway kinda vibe too from this which ain't a bad thing. I enjoyed, so have many others it seems by the chart showing. Well done.

Woot! Great job lads. Some really good songwriting and arranging. You all served the tune well. Another vote here to back off on the lead vocals a tad. Cheers, Frank Edit, oh yeah, gorgeous guitar and bass tone.

very well done guys, this is a story told extremly well, vocals were spot on and the harmony backups were quite awesome,
only disappointing part was that really nice electric guitar part only lasted from 2:47 to 3:11 that`s just too short I WANT MORE.

Very well done performance. I especially like the backing vocals. Has that late 60's feel to it. Love the sound of the guitar lead. Very warm sounding.

My goodness! What a terrific song! Exremely enjoyable and moving. You absolutely deserve to have a top song on Soundclick. Just in case you're still taking suggestions, I think the (enitre) mix could be beefed up a bit with a tape or saturation sim. Just a little. That's just my humble opinion. But yes, you've got a gem here! I'll listen to this one often.
