Aww Jess, don't be disheartened, I've had 50+ years of practice to get those accents honed.

And for those who asked the question earlier the answer is yes, I did all the voice overs 'crept the best one of course which belongs to the one and only Suzy !   Thanks so much Suzy.

Hello Allan,

I'd say that fate has conspired against me to never submit a review for this song. I tried a couple of days ago but was locked out of the thread. I pressed the next button thinking I'd accessed the song and then  started to write in another thread.  I've just written an extensive second review and then somehow lost it from my ipad.

Here we go, third time lucky I hope!

I've noticed that you've made great advancements in your writing, production and guitar since I was last a visitor to the forum.  The drums on this production sound really good.  Overall, the whole production crackles with energy, though I struggle to hear bass guitar in this track - that might just be my ipad earphones which, aren't the best.  Your vocal is confident and I love the title of this song.  Ok, Im going to sign of and submit this before I lose the review again.

Fine work my friend!

Paul

Loved the vibe, The acoustic  groves really nicely in the first verse and  the lighthearted optimism of it nicely done

Well done Allan. Very catchy and interesting musically and lyrically from the off.

It's been mentioned but TURN UP THE BASS.

Alan.

Nice to see an acoustic riff in a tune! Very bright and well played. It really adds a catchy layer atop the vocal hook!

Great track all along. I could pick a niggle here and there, but as a song it is so strong I mind not.

I enjoy the strong and clear narrative throughout. Lovely work :)
