Really liked this song. Superb acoustic guitar work and good vocals. My only comment would be to bring the vocals slightly more up front.

Well written and sang, just not my cup of tea. I am definitely not the best one to judge this song, as some of the traditional attributes don't apply here.

 Good song with excellent vocals. I would have liked a bridge or something that slowed down the pace awhile, then picked back up. Only major complaint is the percussion, I thought it sounded "canned", in particular the bass drum.

Great piano playing, but the vocals got lost. Also hard for me to make distinction between verses and chorus.

Really liked this one a lot. Great music, but vocals buried in the mix to the point of being almost undistinguishable. What I could hear of the voice sounded good. Constant pausing to buffer by Media Player made listening a challenge. I had to judge by putting the pieces together in my head.

Really liked the lyrics on this one. Great guitar/mandy playing, but I would have liked a significant change-up somewhere in the song. Good vocals as well.

 Cool song. Lyrics memorable, without tangling the listener up in an epic story. Great voice and fantastic guitar work. Very well produced too. I did take half a point off, though, for reminding me of John Denver :-)

Great voice, but too much reverb. Nice piano, too. I would like a mellow drum line added for emphasis.

As for lyrics, difficult subject handled very well. Singing was superb. Organ solo seemed out of place to me (you know us guitar guys, I'd rather have heard a good shread solo). A great number with much potential.

Good up-front vocals with good guitar picking. Mixed well, with good harmonies.

 Fantastic song! Although mp3 is garbled, I had the advantage of owning a copy of the CD. Wonderful guitar playing and great, expressive vocals. Killer lead guitar also. A winner! I feel sorry for others that don't have the luxury of having the CD, as I'm sure the garbled mp3 will annoy others and draw a lower score than this song deserves.
