I love the places this song goes...it's like a trip cross-country, through all the beautiful spots...the chorus soars, the helicopter ride 'cross Grand Canyon, the multi-layered guitars are like a velvet forest , mixin' with the keys for a waterfall that is to die for, and all tied-up with percussion from the clouds!

Great song!!:Thumbsup: :Thumbsup:

[leester]

Nice 'individuality' on all the guitar parts. Tight performance on them drums and bass. Might coulda gone a lil wider / bigger with 'em, but tain't bad at all.

This tune's got all the right pieces (hA! nice stick drop at the end... I love hearin' that crap!) and almost reminds me of something like a Weezer or something. Can't put my finger on it, but I'll be back 'round to this one. Plenty more to investigate.

Fun indie rock tune! It's got that cruising along feel, and it all fits. I can never play this stuff because I'm not laid back enough. This is the definitive loud, rocking, but totally laid back feel, right down to the perfect vocals. Reminding me of Pavement a bit, too. Just feels good, un-stressy :)

[Jason Phair]

Anthemic.


Fabulous mix.


Good tune.



Outstanding performance.


'Nuff said.

[dwoz]

It has to be said, that Mike Buzz, whatever you might think of him, can bang out a radio-ready tune.

more after some more listens.

[BigBubbaJ]

Fabulous guitars. Nice grit and chunk.

Really keeps moving and getting more and more exciting.

Nice job!

[Johnny]

I like the "false start" with the perc. Big drama in the drum part. I'm a sucker for that. Lead was really nice. Everyone played very well together.

"You look so good..." Great line!

Putting down the sticks at the end...brilliant!

[Goes211]

Yet another great tune !
:Thumbsup:

[Azraphael]

Just for the record, though, MikeBuzz dropped out really early in the process, and ATTICus Finch was kind enough to step up to the plate for the lead vocals on this track.

Proof that Bass players can mix too. Well....at least Studjo can.

Great job everybody.:Thumbsup: :Thumbsup:

Peace - Out, Irv

[ATTICus Finch]

Let me just say that this is my first listen to the master as I type and I want to reitterate that studjo is freaking amazing and trimmed this tune up amazingly. I'm waiting to see the first person the writes one of my guitar parts of as keys hehehe. Ya'll rule! Thanks for the kind words!

MetaL,

[dikledoux]

NICE guitars, yall.

And Lyons... Fwock! - serious drumming. Really strong job, mang. Very fluid, but mucho aggressivo. I love it.

[mousdrvr]

Guys, I love a great pop tune and this here is a great pop tune!
:Thumbsup: :Thumbsup:

Excellent work.

[blackieC]

I can't say much more other than that I LOVE this song.

My head is bobbing, my foot is tapping and I couldn't stop them if I tried.

And R3, fucking :Thumbsup: , dude.

[Cheech]

I really dig the snare in this tune, that room sounds big and raw to me.... I love that. I like the crunch of the guitars, the whole tune reminds me a bit of Treble Charger, it has that indy Rock feel. I really like.

Good work guys!

[EyreSpace]

Lots of stuff competing for the same sonic real estate, some things are masking others. I also hear the indy thing, and that I likey.

[tammikuu]

I like this one a lot - for some reason this reminds me of an early 90's Brit pop band called Ride. And that's a good thing, since I used to love their stuff as a teenager. And I still do. So, definitely my favourite this year. :)

Oh yeah... Ride, Kitchens of Distinction and a touch of Catherine Wheel for good measure... heavy shoegaze, lush britpop, whatever you wanna call it, this tune roxxorz my soxxorz

[mingus]

Another cool tune with that "radio ready" kind of sound. Great job.

[dnafe]

I'm hearing 60's British Pop dragged kickin' and screaming into the new millenium

:Thumbsup:

Great job guys

[bunnerabb]

Skinny tie rock is alive and well.

This kicks expansive amounts of ass.

Light as a feather on a 100 pound anvil and the lyrics connect like a motherfucker.

"I got a bridge to burn back there". :Thumbsup:

[Fulcrum]

It wouldn't be CAPE if there weren't at least one song in a genre that wasn't my cup of tea...

.. and that didn't kick my ass anyway.

Heavily getting behind those drums, Lyons. Moony, Martin Chambers, Dave Grohl-- really propels the song and kicks it into orbit. Wish I could have heard more of Az's keys but then I would say that-- it's his song anyway and I understand.

Then there's Finch's vocals. Didn't know what to expect there-- by reputation I thought Cookie Monster, don't ask me why-- but you brought 'em off with aplomb. You sold me on it, man. Good work.

Hell, everybody done good.

[Dino]

Very current alt-pop feel that I can definitely get into. Nice.:D

I have a reputation? hehehe. *looks at greenies* OHHH YEAH! Thanks for the kind words I was hoping to show another side this time round....wasn't shootin for this one but hehe but it's what happened and I'm glad it did. All these kind words blow me away. As my team members could vouche for.....I was somewhat of a nervous wreck after I submitted these tracks.

Couldn't have hoped for a better drummer. I'm honored to work with all these cats.

We had a version with more keys....It was freaking awesome. Jo slammed us with a number of different mixes from a bunch of completely different angles. I think all of us were torn between atleast two of em.

[volthause]

Nice job! Excellent sounds for sure. This one needs to be back at the top. ^^

[PSN Big Al]

Nice job everybody! I enjoyed a little trip down memory lane
when I heard a touch of Kevin Cronin in the lead vocal. :Thumbsup:

[studjo]

I love to read all thoes different angles of view to one single track :D

Jo

[kwiksilver]

I didn't like this song when I first heard it. It's starting to grow on me.

I heard my son humming the melody to this tune today. He told me it's one of his favorite CAPE V songs.
:Coolio:

I love the sound of the drums in the top...what are those?

[sqkychair]

Great job, this one grows on you after a few listens. Vox and drums are standouts!
