This song is more true than ever. Thanks for having the guts to say out loud what so many of us feel in our hearts and heads. This is a worthy piece for the ages!

Like that signature southern guitar start, I always think of Marshal Tucker Band, who I've seen. This all you of course; with solid great vocals; good harmonies, really fine lyrics, a good message. Like the guitar complimenting with a cool progression. nifty to see the lyrics. This has a good arrangement and the sound level is right there; neat through my headsets...always use good ones. EXCELLENT production Henry. Most original tune.
Like it alot. -Vesa.

Timely, heartfelt piece with that same great simple production that Rick Rubin used with J. Cash. I really get that live, in your face performance vibe here and I love how the harmony comes in on "you lose". Vocals grab and don't let go. Acoustic sounds nice (modal tuning?) so really tops all the way around.

wow Henry....sorry I missed you all this time. Your brand of acoustic and voice here is just dynamite. Wonderfully written, both music and words, this song sticks out as a real statement in several ways.

Musically, your great playing and acoustic sound mate so well with the strong and confident vocals. Vocal line well conceived and your voice qualities are really top notch. The statement is confidence.
Lyrically, you are a poet...this is just fine stuff. Not only do I agree with your outlook but this is superb and uncontrived wording. The statement is clear and the sentiment unwasted on your listeners.

Wonderful and all ways Henry...LOVE IT! Thanks for the DL! ~Blake

Captivating performance. Great power in the message of this song. Passionate performance both vocally and instrumentally gets this powerful message across perfectly. Love the lyrics....beautifully crafted with a real hook in that chorus section. Sensational voice. Great piece of work.


Cheers

A most solid and expressive performance! Your songwriting skills shine through in this fine tune in the finger-pointing tradition. It all works here, the crisp guitar, the sharp vocals, and the even sharper lyrics. You've created a keeper, for sure.

Hi Henry Harrington! This a great song man. You have that acoustic sounding so full, crisp, and powerful that all I can say is "it's perfect". In fact the whole song is powerful from the vocal quality, lyric content, to production. It's hard to pull off this kind of sound with just a dude and his guitar but you've done it. Bravo!
This takes me back to Stephen Stills' solo days.

You sound a lot like Harry Chapin. Don't worry, I liked Chapin's voice!

I'm enjoying this piece Harry. It displays your passion quite well.

Imagine, only in this absurd world of the Independent scene of music would a composer like myself who deals with serialism checks out a composer like yourself whose passion is acoustic guitar and vocals...

The absurdity of it all Henry...

I truly enjoyed your work Mr. Harrington!

Henry,welcome...
It is a pleasure to fin you here in this more adult setting :)
Beautiful acoustic piece.
Thing is witha song like this where you have guitar and voice,you get nowhere to hide,you have got to get it all on the money.
The acoustic has a beautiful tone to,but the star is your vocals and lyrics.
If we were live,I would give you a standing ovation,as is,I will simply say excellent and a smiley :)
GREATLY enjoyed,and welcome once again mate.

Nigel.
