Hey Tom,

First song I've heard of yours and I really enjoyed it.

The feel I got was David Gates after a spell in the army.

The only thing that stood out for me was the rhyming of -

'but if you're walking on me,
I won't make it eazee

That sounded I little forced but otherwise - very enjoyable.

Hi Alan...thanks for listening. Love David Gates 
Maybe it's the way I sing it.....the rhyme itself isn't forced (I think  )
Anyways, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks again!!

And thanks to all who has listened!!

Can't beat a good old organ in a great new song. Lovely job. Maybe a tad stop and start for me, but I'm nit-picking - tremendous vocals and great melody.

Hey Tom

You got me at the first verse This is really a very strong song and I love the tempo changes.

One remark (may be my ears): did you use some kind of flanger sound on your vocals? No need for effects there man, your natural voice is just fine.

Cheers
Andy

 Excellent song 

 Really like the strumming and that organ....perfect
 Great arrangement and vocal....nothing to fault

 Lovely feel to the song, a joy to listen to.  Reminded me
 a bit of Cat Stevens early stuff..

 Loved it...

Loved all of it. Great vibe, beautifully understated performances, and a pleasing 70's-sounding production. Made me want to try something similar myself!

[IronKnee]

This is great stuff Tom. really captured my attention right from the start. The section where the organ drops in together with the harmony vocals for the first time is awesome  I was getting a late sixties, early seventies Cat Stevens vibe here which is no bad thing as he has written some amazing songs. Your voice is sounding great as well. No nits from me. Top marks 

Cheers

John

Always nice to hear from you Pompy...thanks for all the support and kudos.....I appreciate it! 

Hey Tom
What a great song - think it's my fav of yours so far. 
Love the emotional dynamics and the super effective stops - great arrangement.
Lovely vocals throughout. I can't find fault in this man - stellar!

Thanks, Paul......

Thanks Andy............I use a Boss Micro BR-4 trk. I used one of the pre-programmed mastering effects on the 1+1 version (later used by Paul Battersby in the full production).
Thanks for the kudos 

fantastic!!

Didn't like the opening but I had nothing else to do so I kept listening! Glad I did. At 30 seconds in it gets nicely into gear. Love the rounded bass sound, flat drums and steely, rock organ. Your voice works extremely well and the harmonies are a treat although I thought you could have used them more ... I was going to say ... in the chorus but, I'm not sure there is a chorus is there? It's not missing just ... not there. The lyric is focused and makes a point ... go with this guy and it'll be fun but hard  Ooh err Missus!

I think you've achieved a great 'live' feel on this recording. Was it live? Also, maybe my memory is foggier than I thought but I reckon you get better with each posting.

Christ that's retro. Good stuff. Great voice.
Only one thing, the lyric could be crafted on a little more, only in my opinion.

Hi Caleb....thanks for stopping by for a listen, and by commenting 
I would like to ask you, however, as to what you mean by this being retro? Could you please explain what this is being compared to 
And what do you mean by your wish that this lyric be "crafted on a little more"? On a little more what 
I'm sure you have some answers, and I'm looking forward to hearing more 
Thanks, again....
Sincerely,
                      -Tom

Tom don't take offense. My retro comment was a compliment, thought the instrumentation was early 70's singer songwritier-esque and in a world where Adele, Rhianna and Mumford and Sons are all huge I don't see there being a limit or a certain mold we need to choose to present our music as long as it's done from the heart, people will buy into it.
Lyric wise my opinion is simple, I thought the use of the word desire in too different contexts in two different sections was a little clunky that's all.
