it's perfect. i am sitting here playing air guitar to that awesome, ballsy lead. the lead was perfect. i was singing along with the chorus on the first listen. this tune makes me jealous as hell.
reviewed by gunslinger68ntx from hereford, texas

dynamo balladeer! a highly tasteful use of effect on the solo guitar that weaves in along strong vocals. i can say this is a "hot" song. the intro was captivating and the solo engaging. this song has the elements to interest both rockers and blues enthusiasts. the production is excellent and the dynamics thorough. one can only wonder...what else does this band have to offer!

strong! nice guitar arpeggios, and the lead guitar is stinging away nicely. it reminds me of some dark 80's stuff. really strong vocals.

santana meets tesla! the lead vocals were well done; the style was reminiscent of late 80's hard rock. the lead guitar was very much like carlos santana...the chorus is good. it had a definite, memorable hook.

reviewed by albert flasher from crown point, indiana

the reality here is that this is a very good song. the vocalist and guitarist shine in this very well performed song. both the guitar and vocal play a strong role in the doleful, mournful mood of this effort. vocalist does a great job of hitting the high notes competently and clearly and, most importantly, on key! very good work here.

reviewed by pacolopan from gtown and wtown, massachusetts

very nice indeed. the solo guitar really makes me think of the scorpions in the 80's when they still rocked. i like the mix. everything has it's own space. especially the bass. it's perfect in my ears. this is not your average power ballad...it's more bitter sweet. a nice tune indeed.
reviewed by andrew blakk from stockholm, sweden

great rock! excellent intro. reminded me instantly of the scorpions style hard rock. but then i felt i was hearing lita ford singing! i'm an 80's style hard rock fan, so this is right up my alley! guitar solo was very good. it fit the song well without being overdone. some nice licks in there. the mood of the song was sort of sad / mellow, but always had a build-up before the chorus and into the chorus, which made it big sounding. a slow, anthem type song. i liked it! this is the kind of music that needs to be back on the airwaves!
reviewed by brich68 from advance, north carolina

i liked this song a lot. it has a lot of originality. i love it so much. vocals sound like axl rose. so good...
reviewed by sask8r from igloo mansion, iceland

clearly influenced by songwriters like carlos santana, and heavy metal rockers of the 80's, this song works well in it's genre. the acoustics backing the song, and the guitar licks overtop are like the eagles and carlos santana playing together, with someone like sebastian bach at the helm on vocals. well done.
reviewed by dougmcarthur0 from winnipeg, manitobo, canada

great work! wonderful intro with some great work. the vocals remind me a bit of vince neil. the drums are nicely done... the bass is playing a nice line as well. the song is well put together, nice tight playing, good song structure, and great lyrics for this kind of tune. the mood of the song is absolutely perfect. great song, lots of fun.

reviewed by toxicshocksynd from pawneys island, south carolina

yes! a song with substance! i really like this feel and vibe. singer is great in a definitive way. incredibly tasty guitar solo with smooth tone, beautiful. this sounds like a cross between the writings of neal schon, the vocal delivery of billy squire with the tone or feel of an early vince neil recording...blended with a george lynch style guitar attack and the rhythm section of bad company...i know...where did that come from? good song!
reviewed by maple ridge, british columbia, canada
