Not much to add other than "+1".    Great tune, nice arrangement, good mix.   And yeah, the drums are completely in the pocket - he seems to play the "right" thing all the way through.   And the guitars sound great as usual.   For some reason I love that little phasy part around 3:47 where the guitar practically drops out - it's so "live". 
 

 
thanks steve.
oh, this drummer, he's a degreed SOB, he has played with the DFW symphony, does gig stew, he really is good.
i'd love to use him on all my stuff, but i can't afford to pay him now, and i don't want to ask for gratis.
 
i had to go back and listen to that section around 3:47 you were talking about...
 
 
i think i know what you are referencing...
 
there are 3 things going on right there.
 
a synth line, that is in the middle of a slow modulation....
an acoustic rhythm part that is inbetween strums....
and an electric lead guitar played thru a Ibanez Weeping Demon Wah, and i'm pushing down on the treadle at the same time i've hit a sustained pinch harmonic, and the whole thing comes together in one big happy accident.
 
LOL

Nice tune! I like the middle a lot. Very well done!

appreciate the comments......
the middle was nice after the driving intro.....
to kind of put the listener into the headspace of "contemplation".

Happy accidents are some of my favorite moments.

YOU KNOW..
i actively try to cultivate those 'moments'..
 
a lot of times, i'll set up a session with the idea that certain things might come together if i can get into it enough.....
 
for example, i'll set my guitar cabs up high at waist level, just to lean into them to get certain things happening,
feedback, overtones, whatever,
but i do not know in advance, how i'll approach it until the moment comes....
 

Hi!
 
This sounds in my ears very well produced and played. One minor niggle to me is be that the intro is a bit long, but I'm somewhat impatient so I'm sure most think that the intro length is perfect. The intro somehow feels like it's building tension or something like that so maybe it's good length anyway.

you know, i'm trying to write songs that fit into a 'classic rock' kind of vibe,
not at all concerned with commercial appeal,
or fitting in with common popular rock arrangements...
 
i want my tunes to be a bit of a journey
 
or
 
a quick stop on a longer journey......
 
i know quite a bit about how to arrange songs to fit very specific formats..
 
and i actively try to avoid them.
if that makes sense.....

gonzo, I keep thinking you'll put out a klinker one day - you just seem to get better with every song. You do amaze me my friend. Just a great song here.

markus,
i missed your reply, went on holiday and never checked back...
 
all the same, thanks for listening.
glad you dig it
