Hi

Fantastic harmonies - indeed, great vocals in general.
Very tasteful arrangement.
At first I thought it should kick in and get bigger, but then I thought - nah, that would ruin it.
Made me think of Extreme a little.

Really good write and production.

Listening to the 1st verse I was like "this is good" then the chorus came the I was like "This is great"! Songwriting at its best  ;)

Leo, lost track of you for a while, good to have found you again :-)
Quality stuff as always, and particularly the vocals! The guitar is great but as far as I'm concearned you could drop it (and the cello) and this would still be fab.
Love the vocal harmonies, love the cello, love the song, love the complete package!
Take a bow, this was really, really, really good!!!

I'm going to echo what pretty much everyone else is saying, you nailed it with this track. Vocal harmonies can make or break a track, and they definitely make it here. The strings are nice touch too.  Plus I can't think of too many songs that mention Yellowknife of all places. Well done.

Lovely. I love that you had the Northern Lights in your song. I was assuming Norway, but Canada, eh? The Great White North. Really enjoyed this one. You have a beautiful voice.

This is excellent. The light production suits the lyric and melody well, in my opinion. And the lyric and melody go together so well. No nits from me.

Oh man, this is just spot on. That's brilliant and awesome and just...wow. Superb all round. Lovely song, great lyrics. Vocals just out of this world, and instrumentation is a delight for an acoustic boy like me.

This reminded me of the scene in Bird where some local wannabe musician heard Charlie Parker playing one night and then promptly went and threw is horn into the river. :-)

Good job, man. I really like how the lyrics are pretty simple but go a long way. I read the lyrics first, when I listened to it, it felt like it wasn't what I expected it would be, but I wasn't disappointed, it sounds great.
"I am no prophet — and here's no great matter.
I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker."

Hi mate

Great vocals and guitars and excellent lyrics to go with it. I really like the relaxed feel of it. Nice laid back tune buddy

Thanks, Darren
