It has that spontaneous magic energy that only working under an insane time crunch.  There's a raw quality to the vocals that's really nice.

you are a gifted songwriter. Yes, you are.

1.5 hours? That's impressive!
Love the harmonies towards the end. Am a total sucker for that - nice and poppy, a bit beatle-esque.
Good stuff!

Thanks so much.  I think the vocals are raw because I played a show on Friday (via webcam) where I did a lot of singing and I didn't really warm up for the show.  End result, sore vocal chords on Sunday, but it really did kind of add a nice flavor!

Thanks so kindly!  A little nervous with no warm up and no time to practice, I had to sing it as I wrote it!  Glad u liked it!

This is so funny, that was the ONE LINE that I felt uncertain about.  It felt too "exposed" - but this confirmation really validates that I was on the right path.  Thank you so much for this comment.

That means the world to me.  Me, crying tears of joy:

AH so flattered that you even said the B word!  They are (maybe obviously) a huge influence.  You are soooo kind!  The harmonies at the end are my favorite part, I was just listening to that on loop for a while

Don't know how you pulled this off in 1:45. I hear no flaws.  Drums are super catch and you nailed the vocal.  Love that bouncy bass sound too.  The song has a happy up-beat tempo but with a melancholy feel in the vocal, and guitar.  Much enjoyed!  Also, great show on Friday. Looking forward to the next one!

Damn. This is so good. My younger self would be incredibly jealous of your absurd amount of talent, but instead I'm just grateful to have a nice tune to listen to. My only complaint is not having an album worth of stuff like this to listen to. Your hubby is a real muse.

Great vocals and lyrics, a pleasure to listen to, I’m going to think of it as “someone walking away from the prison of self-hatred, finally accepting life, with a smile on their face.”

Good one! Great idea for challenge, and you pulled it off well! I'm going to watch the replay of you live stream, looking forward to it. Everything's fine, yeah, I'll go with the happy interpretation of this. Love the do, do do melody.

I have no clue how you wrote and recorded this in under two hours. Well done - its catchy, its well arranged, and it doesn't sound rushed at ALL.

It's not that we don't care, we do, we just like it for the raw expression that gets polished out during post. It's real, it's legit.

Great show last week! This track is super awesome. The guitar melody + vocal layering is really cool, especially the choir part at the end. The content of the song is dark/melancholy, but the bright, energetic, and forward production (and time crunch?) gives it an upbeat/spontaneous feeling. Gonna hit play a couple more times

Your songwriting skills (especially under time constraints) are on fyah!  Really enjoy the vocal dooos.  Gave me some Beach Boys vibes
