Very nice James and Tim!
 
I'd be happy hearing a "pretend band" version, lol...

Excellent, James!  Your voice shines in this.  It seems like everything you touch turns to gold.




Thanks Lynn Tim's voice, not mine...my voice would turn the milk..

Another tune already?
as ever a potentially great song. personally not overly-enamored with the banjo sound, would prefer straight acoustic. Tim doing what Tim does, great vocals.
It's time and distance and memories and experience, but for me something of the vibe of Acrobat's is a little missing...percussion was always one of your strong points and this is missing it...also a little change-up in the chords to relative minor would work well...to me sounds like a demo and not a finished tune. and you know i don't criticise your stuff lightly James...

Great songwriting and the lyrics are very impressive and poetic.
 
The only crit like the rest was that arpeggioed guitar throughout masked the vocal a bit, too zingy, bring up the leadvox a hair or send or deaden that riff a little.
 
3:37 possibly could of had drums to the end

Thanks Cian! Good call on the balance of guitar/vocal, will attend to that.

Thanks for the candid crit Mark, I know we're doing things a little differently than before, but it's a conscious decision.
