Steve,
Man! I can't believe that no one has commented on this!!!
It is awesome! My favorite of the things I've heard of yours. It's got "hit" written all over it. A very solid write and a perfect production for it.
You did a great job on this. (But when you need a female version - Martina McBride would kill this!)
Good luck with it...

Hey Steve,
Real nice work mate. What an uplifting song !
Especially like the fiddle noodling. Just one point of a VERY listenable and beautifully produced and balanced piece of work.
Great stuff !
cheers, niteshift

Thanks Mackie....A Movie is a great idea...I heard it the day I wrote it..... Yeah, when I wrote this I was hearing "Spread Your Wings & Fly" being sung by me or Billy Ray Cyrus to Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus, in a HANNAH MONTANA Movie... Guess that is toast.........

Hey Steve,
I have been trying to listen to this for days and none of the links work for me. I finally found it at a soundclick site and was able to listen. Man, this is good. Top shelf all the way. Pristine sound, write and performance. Best of luck with it. I don't know if anyone has ever told you you sound like Fogelberg, but I hear alot of Dan Fogelberg in this song. Nothing wrong with that. Good luck with the cd.

Great lyrics and vocal and a fine production to support it. This one oughta have legs. Why do songs with great sentiment like this have to be so rare now days? Thanks for the listen!

Dave Thanks Dave....Fogelberg had a really, really authentic original voice & his songs had & still have meaning... Those are 2 things I try to live by musically... Be original & write tunes that have meaning...
