...reminds me of that classic 60's sound and with the addition of the guitar makes for a very mellow tone. The music reminds me of a song by 'The Band' or another pop chart hit sometime during the latter half of the 60's. The voice somehow is reminiscent of a David Bowie or Lou Reed by it's consistency and overall power.

(HYER's) arrangements and mood and lyrics are clever and flowing. t
The relaxed piano rocks. Reminds me of Ben Harper...

Great vocal part. Really sung well and mixed great with the instruments. Great groove here by the drummer. Laid back, but really keeps the vibe from getting to subtle. Great job. Excellent song, powerful, really attention grabbing. - Garageband.com
Liked the use of harmonica!!! The lyrics are interesting; obviously well thought out and effective. They mesh well with the overall tone of the song and the melodic, sombre piano. - Garageband.com
