I hope that life’s been treating you well
And what are you up to these days

It was recorded in 2010, and I was in a hurry to post it elsewhere because I'm so fond of the song itself. But I've always hated the old mix - I lost the essence of the guitars and choirs during mastering because…

Very nice! Sounds like U2 circa Pop/Zooropa (a bit), for lack of a better comparison.
like it :-)
nice, love the base
Atmospheric and effective. Like the way it develops
This is great. Rhythmic and clever lyrics too!
Excellent vocal and guitar sound. Really good.
A wonderful song with great ambience and vocals, very much enjoyed.
Tasty track. Like it.
You got my feet tapping with this one! Great Mix.
Rocks. Cool mix.
Excellent ........
What a beauty.......
cool bass line and a totally danceable groove. Great mix man! this is quite awesome.
this has taken on a greater meaning with the news about scottish author iain banks. my thoughts are with him and his family.
Braw, great tune!
Wonderful track, ORH, it's simple and doesn't try to be more or less than it is. Hits the nail on the head, so to speak.
Oh man ....nice song. Seen it up the other day and did not gvet a chance to listen.
Had trouble getting this to play earlier - real glad I gave it another go. Wonderful.
