Tom:

Another great production of another strong song. I think your voice sounds great on this...I like the little bit of strain in the vocals. It's adds a certain realism and grittiness to the song. Now, on this song I think the band kicks in and out in the right places. The guitar parts are tasteful and satisfying. Excellent change up at the bridge and then back to that wonderful chorus.

I listened 3 times and I have a couple of nits (I haven't read the other comments yet, so these are fresh (well, I just glanced up at Ricki's review and I see that the first one is not fresh!))

1. It ends too abruptly.
2. The first two lines are interesting and sing well, but I wonder if some more conversational lines might not be a stronger opening to the song. (On the other hand, they do create a very strong image, so I guess there are no easy answers, only tradeoffs.) This is something I've been working on lately, so I guess that's why it struck me that way. I just thought I'd point it out.

Tom, I always enjoy listening to your work.

Mark
