i confess I've not heard this before and maybe I should have its a great tune with such lovely melodic feel as the genre says 60's art but this is way more than simply that.
the lyrical content sends a message making the song instantly accessible and applicable to the masses and thats a credit to the writer.
The instrumentation is really well handled here - that acoustic picking is never over awed by the other parts which come and go filling the atmosphere.
Whats especially great about this song is the fantastic hook which embeds itself right where it should - so often a song can be really great but the hook is missing this song does not fall on that front.
Nice out section too the heartfelt vocal almost has tears inside it ...nicely done indeed.
Second pass usually where I may add some constructive stuff and that's usually where the artist within us hears how they might have added or done things differently. So would I have done anything differently here - simple put no everything is as it should be perhaps the vocal itself could be lifted a little and the string panned outward to give a broader stereo image...but thats really being overly picky because this song has a great big heart and it's message shines through. by the way the lalalala's section is delightfully 60's absolutely love that inclusion. But I will return to that glorious hook ...simply human.
Loved this song
Every now and then someone will write a very in-depth and comprehensive review; this is one of those times. This is a special song to me, and I really appreciate @emocion (sly puppy) taking the time to listen and for leaving such a wonderful review...you have made all of my songwriting efforts worth while. Thank you!

The acoustic stereo separation is always a cool effect.Soundwise the bass comes out really nice and clean too. Nice gustsy lead solo with good composition and great vocals and lyric line makes it a really enjoyable piece. nice work.

Loving the acoustic intro Farrell and your way of stringing a story in lyrics. Must be a parallel generation thing because your music always feels nostalgic for me.
Fabulous tune.

Heard this on mixstream. Cool number Farrell. Catchy chords and picking.

Very nice listen with this one Farrell. Has that 60s feel to it. Very much my kind of music...Thanx for posting it..
Just some songs that I've written over the years and to date. Plus some collaboration songs as well.
I've had fun with this music stuff most of my life...

I've had fun with this music stuff most of my life and still do. I gigged in a band for 35 years but now I'm just a home studio hack. Made some bucks from gigging but I guess the real payout is the numerous stories and memories from the road.
For a while I ran a small project studio at my place for soloists, duos, and the occasional full band. I gained a lot of recording experience doing that. It was definitely an experience. These days it's just me having fun in the studio. I try this and that with songwriting and recording. Once in a while it works. If I come up with something decent, which I think sounds ok, I'll post it up.
You can find my music on most of the popular sites ie. Amazon, iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music etc. Thanks for visiting and if you have the time, hit the play button to hear a song or two.
