Great vocalist, who is she? I'd be giving someone that good plenty of credit if it was me. All sounds really good but some of the guitar fills sound like they're falling in the wrong place on the timeline, and the fuzz guitar doesn't fit the mood to my ears.
 
What's the story behind this song David? It's world's away from anything else I've heard by you.

haha, it's worlds away in production, but not composition.  Thanks for the comment, james.

You're welcome. Not going to say who the singer is then?

I pm'd info.  BTW there's an interesting polemic there if you want to discuss:  composition vs. production.  The lines have certainly been blurred.

David, this really works for me.  The chord progression and melody are superb, as is the vocalist.  My only suggestion would be to turn her up in the big finale, where the instruments compete with her.  The lyrics shine and need to be heard.  Otherwise, this is a stellar production.  Btw, who is she?

Really nice David. Because of the vocal, it reminded me of something Randy Crawford might sing.

Wow, that's quite a compliment Daryl.   I feel really privileged to know her.

Really? I'm a big fan of her and the Crusaders in their own right.

Nice work.  Since this is a draft, I won't comment on the nits.... other than to say some of the piano parts in the first part of the song need some tweeks.  And I hit the rewind in a few places because it sounded like my dog was whining....but it was something in the tracks.
 
All together as a draft, that's really a hot song. The vocalist kills it.  This could fit into a movie soundtrack like a hand into a velvet glove.
