Not a big CR fan personally, but there's nothing much wrong with this and plenty to like. Nicely done overall. I would maybe bring the drums forward some and the vox a little too especially early on. A few too many repeats of the last line for me, could use some variation in there. Needn't be much, just enough to make it sound a little less like the needle is stuck (showing my age now!).

BIABdude, Thank you for listening!

Janet, thank you for listening as well.  I like the way the build up came together on this one.  I am getting a little better at arrangement, when and how to add instruments.  Maybe equally as important, when to drop the out for a while.  Your comment about my vocals made my day when I read it.  I have never considered myself much of a singer and I have always felt like I am just struggling to get by.  Thank you soooo much for that comment!

Makke, I am very please that you like the song.  I used to fight to not sound 70's.  I gave up.  I guess if I sound like Petty, then I will embrace it.

Paulo, I am especially happy that you mentioned that you are not a big fan of Christian music, but you still found plenty to like here.  I am trying really hard not to "sound like" the typical CR music.  I know exactly what needle stuck means, I am probably showing mine as well.  I was going for something different with this ending, trying to break the CR mold.

Nice, immediate hook. Definitely Tom Petty and I thought a bit of Neil Young in there too with the crunchy guitars.
My only problem was the vocal tuning on the last word of every line in the first verse. You hit the same off note each time and, as this is where you are trying to grab the listener, it would be worth putting it right.

You're welcome...I know what it's like to not like your voice and I always appreciate a good one when I hear it.  :)

Hey Daryl, thank you for commenting.  I will check a few of those spots out when I have a chance.

Overall sounds great, solid groove throughout

Vocals a little pitchy in places.

Well, it has taken a while, but I finally got around to tweaking this song once more.  I think I have all of the pitch issues delt with.  I also reworked the lead guitar at the end and hopefully, it sounds a little better.  Still, no Danny Danzi, but it is the best I can probably do for now.
